I just think when you're really small from my experience, there's a lot more risk to being small.

0:05.9

Tell me about that.

0:06.7

Yeah. I actually learned that from Cardone. He said this one day. He goes, dude, when you're small, you actually have more risk. And I'm like, what do you mean? Like, if you have all this overhead and all this staff, like, that's risky. he's like, no, if you're small and you lose one team member, you just lost half your staff.

0:23.6

Yeah.

0:24.2

Like now you're small and you lose one team member, you just lost half your staff. Yeah. Like, now you're doing double time for whatever it is you're selling and doing in your business and all that. Because the other part is, too, it's like it's all relying on you, you know, if you don't put in the work that week or you don't show up like nothing happens because when you

have a bigger team in organization like you have a machine and it makes money without you and

0:42.9

you know i've seen that happen in my own real estate business and um you know i've seen it even

innovative um on the other hand when i'm a solo guy, it's like, I'm only as good as me. Yeah. Which is why you need coaches, especially if you're solo. You need like other people giving you feedback, right? But then, you know, the moment you want to like lean it out, it destroys the whole machine.

1:47.2

And you essentially have to rebuild a machine from scratch.

1:50.6

And so those are like the pros and cons.

1:53.3

And I'm not sitting here saying one is better than the other.

1:56.0

Yeah.

1:56.9

I would just say that I guess I could go back to very small. Like I don't think that that's hard to do. I think it's,
