A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Bill Gallagher in which the speaker reflects on restarting as an entrepreneur and deliberately aiming to build a $10M–$30M company. The speaker emphasizes learning from prior mistakes, knowing who to contact, setting clear ambition from day one, and designing the business architecture with a clear path (compared to setting a GPS).

You can really set that bar now and say, you know what, I have some experience. I think I can do this right. I know what I did wrong. I know who I need to talk to. I know which road I need path I need to go down. And that was, that was amazing. And like the one big thing we did early on is like we set our, like, you know, like setting the GPS in your car. You know, if you're trying to get to New York from Toronto, it's, you know, don't start going north, right? So, you know, we had a clear path. We had our ambition set from day one. And we designed our business, you know, in the architecture for to build a 10, 20, $30 million business.
