Brian, I want to talk to you about something that holds a lot of people back. I imagine you get people all the time saying, like, I'm interested in buying a business, but I don't think I'm qualified yet. And I'm just wondering, like, what do you tell them? Because they might be like in their corporate job. They might be living their life, but they don't think they have what it takes yet. Okay, cool. So again, as stupid, simple as it sounds, it all starts with a decision. So you have to make a decision if you are starting a company or if you're buying a company, regardless, we're making the ownership decision. And it's very much so that it is a decision. So because here's the thing, everybody is chasing perfection. And if you chase perfection and I'm talking to myself as much as I'm talking to everyone else, I'm doing content right now.

And I don't want to do content because I'm not perfect at it.

But the irony is there is no perfect content, and therefore there is no perfect business.

So anybody that is like, I have to have these credentials, like these certificates, like this X, Y, and Z experience in order to do this business.

Like, it's just not going to happen.

Like, you need to make a decision where you're just like, hey, I am going to do this and I'm not going to give up.

That is business.

That is the best piece of advice you can give to anybody that's doing business.

And if you're

asking the question, like, if you truly want to ask the question, am I cut out to be a business owner?

The answer to that question is, can you persevere through pain, can you endure suffering, and just

not give up? And if that answer is yes, then all the rest of the stuff is skills that you can learn.

All the rest of the stuff. Hiring, leadership, delegation. I don't care if you're an introvert.

I don't care if you're an extrovert. I can learn systems and spreadsheets and data to scale my company.

And I've got introverts on my team that have learned how to lead and manage and inspire people.

It's all skill sets, but it all

starts with can you endure suffering? Because there's a quote that I really love, which is it's either

increase your sacrifice or reduce your desire. And so in business, it's like you have to increase

the sacrifice in order to do what's required. There's been so many times that I've gotten kicked in the

dick, left, right, sideways, and like nobody even took me to dinner first. I just got kicked.

And so you just have to be able to go through it, man. And so if you can persevere, then you are

cut out for a business owner. But if you have really thin skin and you just are going to faint at the slightest
