No one's ever done it and I'm going to be the first. If you can at least just believe that if someone has done it, it is therefore possible and therefore I can't do it too if I do the same things.

The wealthiest people in the world see business as a game.

This podcast, The Game, is my attempt at documenting the lessons I've learned on my way to building

acquisition.com into a billion dollar portfolio.

My hope is that you use the lessons to grow your business and maybe someday soon partner with us to get to a hundred million dollars and beyond.

I hope you share and enjoy. I wanted to make this kind of short for you because it's a I had two or three things

0:36.0

happen or the last handful of days that just seemed to be this repeated thing and it reminded

0:40.3

me that a lot of people struggle with this, which is they believe that they are inherently

0:46.4

bad at things because they are not good at them.

1:42.6

And I was like have you considered learning how to sell right?

1:45.4

I'm because if you sell you have a far you know if you still have the desire for

1:48.6

security but if you know how to sell you can pretty much write your own paycheck if you

1:52.0

know where to look and she was like I'm not I'm not good at sales I'm not a

1:56.2
