So a crazy story about Benjamin Franklin that was once a time where he had an enemy, a big enemy,

they're going back and forth and eventually he figures out a way to get closer to him. He says,

you know what? Maybe I'm going to ask him for help. I'm going to ask him to borrow one of his books.

He borrows the book. The enemy lends him the book. He puts the book in his office, never reads

the book a week later. He gives it back to the enemy. Says, thank you so much for lending me the book.

very hard time having people around them that help them because I let me just do myself. You know

what? I'm just going to do this on my own. You guys can't figure this stuff out. I'm going to do

it on my own. That's a perfectionist, right? And if you have that personality, you're going to

build a very small team because no one around you is going to be eventually learning how to do

their job because you keep doing everyone's job yourself. Number three, you're afraid because

if you ask and you say, hey, John, I need your help in this one area. I needed a referral for this

person. Do you know anybody? Yeah, I can't really help you in that area. The idea of the other
