0:00.0	Hey guys, real quick. So Layland, I are definitely working on our social media presence if you guys haven't noticed.
0:04.1	And we're just breaking now into LinkedIn. Alright, it's not as bad as I thought.
0:07.9	It's actually been pretty awesome so far. And you guys have been really cool in there and people are sharing our stuff a lot.
0:12.2	So if we aren't connected, on LinkedIn, go ahead and let's connect and let's rock and roll.
0:17.0	You've read every email, you've seen every report. So if you were coaching you right now, what would you tell you to do?
0:24.0	And what's crazy about this is that half the fucking time is not what I'm doing.
0:28.2	Take your own advice. If you do that, I promise you'll make more money.
0:32.2	Welcome to the game where we talk about how to sell more stuff to more people in more ways and build businesses worth owning.
0:38.2	I'm trying to build a billion dollar thing with acquisition.com. I always wished pesos, musk and buffet had documented their journey.

1:22.2	Right? But the reality is that any of them can take off. You can have a billion dollar roofing business.
1:28.2	You have a billion dollar GC business. You got a billion dollar house will be business.
1:32.2	But you can't have them all. So you got to focus. You got to pick one. And the nice thing is it doesn't really matter which one you pick.
1:39.2	But you do need to pick one. The picking is the thing that grows it. The ability to say no is the thing that grows it.
1:45.2	Not the thing you pick. It's who you are as a consequence of the decision that changes the outcome.
