The SECRET Mindset MILLIONAIRES Use For SUCCESS | Ed Mylett & Dean Graziosi

Transcript of a conversation between Dean Graziosi and Ed Mylett about mindset, entrepreneurship, and the practical journey from poverty to financial success. Graziosi recounts his upbringing, early businesses (collision shop, real estate, infomercials), the idea of a "success tax," and lessons about hard work combined with the right skills, persistence, authenticity, and paying dues to achieve momentum.
Chapters
What if you just visualized that there's an auditor, a success auditor, put in the success tax and know you're gonna fail, Know it's gonna go sideways, but it's worth it no matter what you're doing, even if you hate it. Realize it's temporary and be amazing at it. Don't think I'm just gonna schlub through this job and then my magic will come. You'll be screwed. You'll stay there. Because how you do one thing is how you do everything. The most costly advice in the world is bad advice. It's your broke friend telling you how to get make money. It's your single friend telling you how to fix your relationship. Stop listening to all crap. Stare at your destination like an obsession.
Oh my gosh. This is hard work.
Had nothing to do with success. Hard work combined with the right skills.
Gotcha.
Gets you momentum. Welcome to the Dean Graziosi show. All success starts right here.
There's so much you could teach us, but I want to just a little because I want people to understand who you are because everyone always sees the after. Yeah, there's this, you know, good looking, wealthy, successful guy, but the before is really interesting. And so you grew up in upstate New York, right?
I did.
Okay.
Yep.
Grew up in a wealthy family.
Yeah. We are loaded.
So tell me, tell me a little bit, you know, the Reader's Digest, but a little bit about your upbringing.
Yeah. So the one thing I want to say is you don't have to have a really horrible childhood to be successful. Like sometimes I share it and I'm like, wow. I don't want people to think like, oh, the rags to riches story. But I think it's an inspiration because if you didn't start that low, at least you're starting on second base. Right. So you don't have to have the tragic story to get there. But I guess the simplest way is I just knew at a young age. And I want to get back to later, having this broad audience and having the opportunity to affect 15 year old kids all the way to 80 year olds now with social media in a way that we never had. Because I remember, and this is a part I'll start with. I can remember being 15 years old and feeling different than everybody in my family. Like no one made money. My dad at a really early age, I equated that hard work had nothing to do with success. My dad worked his ass off and he was broker than shit.
What did dad do?
Cars collision, shop collision. And he worked hard, got up early paint under his nails, sick some days from painting and fumes. So. So I realized at a really young age that working hard had nothing to do with being successful. And then I recognized people in my town that were wealthy. That's why I went into real estate. There was a couple guys, one's Joey Noto and Dominic Afuso. It was two Italian guys in my town. I grew up in a town in upstate New York. Everybody was Italian. I grew up, I thought everybody was Italian.
Everybody in the world was, right?
Yeah. But I watched those guys and they just were a little different than everybody else. They were, Seemed happier, they had more freedom, they were jovial. And I watch my dad work so hard. So I think something's triggered at a really young age. But I remember feeling alone in my thoughts. You know, I had an uncle that was. I had an uncle that was somewhat successful, lived in Connecticut. And he's like, you know, if you don't go to college, if you're not getting good grades, Dean, then I think you should start thinking that you'll probably be a mechanic like your dad and you should get good at that craft. And I remember thinking like deflated. So I think being on social media, I'm getting so many. Because like you said, I just started putting attention on social media the last eight months. Getting so many kids with that same feeling. Now they have an outlet. But just real quick, my story, I wanted to tell you the feeling so I could say I was broke, I lived in a trailer park, all that stuff was true. I had dyslexia, I didn't go past high school, I barely got out of high school. And I knew I wasn't going to college. But I realized at a young age that and somewhat being naive right before the world told you no so many times that I just, I wanted to break out of watching my parents struggle, watching all my family struggle again. It doesn't matter where you are if your surroundings feel complacent, if they feel okay, shit, if they feel good and you want amazing, you know, you got to break through. And I was just lucky enough to just stay persistent. I wasn't afraid to fail. I didn't doubt myself, even though I didn't have the education, the money.
But you started to go down the road, didn't you? You ended up in the collision shop.
I did.
You and your dad's shop.
Yeah.
And there was, I mean, because a lot of the young people listen to this are middle aged people. They've also. They're coming out of a setback Or a letdown. And sometimes even those setbacks and letdowns are from people that love them or that they love them.
Absolutely.
So go to there, if you don't mind. Just, you're in the collision shop, you end up becoming an entrepreneur. Yeah, right. Like, let me ask you. Actually, I want to go back because I heard you say this before. You say hard work has nothing to do. Do you think that a guy like you. Because I understand what you mean when you say it, which is that these entrepreneurs are smarter. They find ways to get roi, which I'm going to talk about in a minute. But I. I also know about your work ethic.
Oh, no. Yeah. The point I left out. Y. Hard work had nothing to do with success. Hard work combined with the right skills get you momentum. Like the way I think about it. And I didn't finish it. Thank you for looping back around. Is what I see most people do is when you're like, you're on a treadmill on number five, and you're like, screw this. I want more out of life. So you just put the treadmill to eight. So you're running twice as fast, you're exhausted, you're sweating, but you still haven't moved an inch. And that's what I love what you do. And I love being the business I am. I never knew I'd be in this business is because we get to show capability so you can grab onto what other people have experience and just rob their strategy so you can be working smarter. So let me back up. So I decided not to go to college, work with my dad in his collision shop, and within a couple years, not even a year, he made me a 25% partner in his collision shop because I was bringing in business and I was hustling and him and I banged heads because he was brute force. Like he could make shit happen through brute force. And I saw a better way to market and create systems. And I don't know why I'd love to say I'm brilliant. I don't have a high iq. I just saw it wasn't working for him. So it's like you hit your hand with a hammer and it hurts. Stop hitting your hand with the hammer and it'll stop hurting.
Isn't amazing how many people don't they.
Just keep doing it or go faster, hit quicker, maybe it won't hurt as much. Right. Great point.
Great point.
So I just saw that. So then. So I'll tell you, the first time in my life I felt like shit. Maybe my uncle was right. Maybe society is right. It was a young age. So like, two years out of high school. I'm a partner in my dad. He named it Paul and Dean Autobody. So he put my name on the sign. I'm like, at least I got something. All my buddies went off to college. At least I got this. My dad goes through his third divorce, and it really hit him hard. My dad was the youngest of 12, was physically and emotionally abused. So he's fought a lot of stuff. So he goes through his third divorce, and he freaks out. He goes so low that he checks himself in some place to try to get his head straight, and they wouldn't let him out. So I go see him, and he said, dean and I haven't shared this much, but he said, dean, go get a job someplace. There was only one factory in our little town. He said, go get a job there. You're screwed. I screwed you. He said, I'm not paying my mortgage on my house. I'm not paying the collision shop. They can all go screw themselves. Screw them. Like, he was in that. You know, he was in a different space, a little bipolar. So he was in that paranoid space.
Plus, this is your father and your business partner.
Father and business partner. So he says, go get a job. You don't have a college education. I don't have money. All I got is debt. So good luck. And he wasn't trying to be mean to me. He just didn't know else how to fit. He didn't know he was gonna have the tools. He wanted to get out so he could kill himself if he wanted the truth.
Oh, my God.
So they wouldn't let him out. So long story.
Really? That's why.
Yeah. So what I did was. But that was my gift, and that's the part I want to talk about. When you're in it. I love when people say, hey, man, when you're going through hell, that's your gift. You're gonna learn from it. But when you're going through it, you can't. Like, oh, great, this is wonderful. I'm getting thrown out of my house. I'm not in business anymore. My dad wants to kill himself, and I don't know where I'm gonna sleep tomorrow night. I'm like, oh, wow, this is building character. Like, I didn't want that. But when I look back, that was our buddy Tony Robbins always says, life happens for us. That was life happening for us, right? That was me paying success tax at a really young age, you know? So I rented his House. First, I rented his house to someone so he didn't lose his house. And then I moved all of his. All the collision stuff out of his collision shop, and I put it in this little barn, and I literally. No shit. I still have a picture of the barn. I worked in that barn. I was fixing one car at a time just to pay the bills. And it taught me how to be creative. I went back to the woman. I'll make the story short. I just want to show you how it doesn't matter where you are. There's another level when the tenacity and you have the ability to overcome the obstacles in front of you. I went back to the woman who my dad was renting the collision shop for. She was an Italian lady. I had dinner with her about three Sundays in a row. The fourth Sunday, I asked her if she'd sell me the collision shop. My dad lost, and she sold it to me with no money down and a hug, swear to God, in my life. Like, there's little angels in your life. Like, I say it now, I could get emotional. Mary Lopresti, she's not alive anymore, God bless her. But she sold me the building with no money down. And she didn't like my dad. She didn't. They fought all the time. And she said, I've always seen something in you. And she goes, I love you. I know this is weird. And I'm like. It was like an adopted. I got goosebumps.
You do?
And she gave me the building with no money down. I moved in. I started Dean Collision Shop, and within two years, we were thriving. I got Enterprise, Rent a car account. I bought two tow trucks. And then two years later, I asked my dad to come back and be my 25% partner.
My gosh.
And that was the start of. That was the start of that. And then I got into real estate. I mean, I was doing real estate before then, but I started really building momentum in my mid-20s. By 28, I was what you would consider a millionaire. Retired my parents in my 20s.
You ended up retiring. That dad of yours that was going through all that, you retire him?
I still got him a check every day, every week. I still got him a chance to this day buy him a new car every two years. That's beautiful. Cut him a check every week. And. Yeah, so that was. That was. And I've had multiple those stories along the way. Like, I got into real estate, and then the real estate market changed, and I shifted and had a figure thing. I got in the infomercial Business. I had no freaking clue what I was doing. I was literally in my collision shop. I had 30 apartments. I bought a big plot of land. I was building homes. About 10 homes being built. This is my late 20s. 10 homes in development. 30 apartments, collision shop, auto sales. And I'm writing a course on how to do an infomercial because I watched Tony on camera, and the freaking guy inspired me. I bought his course, and literally, this is the one thing. I don't even know if I've shared this, but I gave Tony money. He sent me a course. I didn't know him, of course. And it changed my life.
Yes.
And I said, wow. I cut a check to go faster. I want to be in this business. And I knew my story was good, so I started creating a course. And I filmed my first infomercial in the front yard of my house when I was 29. 1998. Are you kidding me? Yeah. No idea what I was doing. I was fucking clueless. In fact, the camera guys, like, you got a great crew here. They showed up, and I used every dollar I had in credit cards. They came with a big. I don't know if you guys remember. They had the big dollies. It used to come on tracks. It looked like a train. It came out of a back of a truck. It was like four, five guys wheeling it down. I set up this whole thing. They turn on a camera like this. I'm like, I could talk about this.
Yeah.
And the camera went on. I went freaking straight Cottonmouth. Like, I couldn't. I couldn't even take the tongue. My tongue off the roof of my mouth. I couldn't talk. And I went in my house, I did a shot of tequila. No shit.
I met before a lot of shows. We didn't do that today, but I usually do.
Yeah. I did a shot of tequila, and then I did a second shot of tequila and went out and felt buzz with Cotton Mountains. I could not do it. I literally couldn't get through it. So they came back the next day and I shot my first show, and I started running my infomercial business out of my collision shop. No shit.
Golly, man. That's insane.
Yeah.
So you. So I want to. I want to pick apart a couple things. No, this is so awesome. So I want to go part through a couple things. Like, one thing that you. That he hasn't told you about the infomercial thing, because I was reading on you, because he's a real. Ash shucks it, dude. You can see it. I got. But, like, this is a thoroughbred, freaking freaky stud right here. Right. And that's one of the things I'm gonna ask you in a minute. But. But you heard all the. The things he was doing. But, like, I started this podcast because somebody told me that I should. I literally googled. Tim Ferriss had a kit online you could buy.
Right.
That's how I did. And I. It's on YouTube. I buy the kit on Amazon. I got the microphones, and I just talked into it for my first podcast, like, about 19 months ago. Right. This is where we're similar. And then I'm done. And I go, so how do I get it out of that machine onto the computer? And then how does it get from the computer, like, into the world? I had no idea.
Yeah, I get it.
So, like, everyone thinks you have to have every single step figured out.
Yeah, that's a great lesson.
And you on your infomercial, there's kind of something similar. Didn't you shoot it and had no idea what to do with it after you shot it? So great.
I'm glad you did your research, because you're reminding me stuff I haven't talked about in years. So I. I finally get through. I film this infomercial. It's done, and literally, I'm just gonna. Everybody says you have to figure it out. I love what you just said. I literally hired an editor that had another job that could do it at night. It's the only one I could afford. So I'm at his apartment, and we're editing this at night, and I have Tony Robbins infomercial here. And I'd play three minutes and go, oh, let's edit this part to look like that. And that's how I edited my first show. So now I get totally done. And I'm like, so now what I do with it just. I swear to God, I'm like, how do I get it out of the machine? And how do people see it? I was literally going through the yellow Pages trying to find, like, calling stations and, like, no, there's media buyers who buy on a big scale. And all of a sudden, I just started digging and I found. I don't know if you remember Don Lapre, of course. So Don Lapre, Little tiny ads. Little tiny ads. Don Lapre had gone out of business.
Okay?
That's why I live in Phoenix. He went out of business, and he laid off 300 people. So I just. Through calling, calling, I found his media buyer was Sandy Daly. I jumped on a plane, I flew down. She just lost her job. She was working for Don. She had nothing to do. I said, hey, I got an infomercial that I think is gonna convert. I have no idea what to do. And that was my gateway. She got me the media. She hooked me up with customers, like, because all these people. That's why I moved to Phoenix. I hired 20 ex Don people that were in that space. You know, he handled things his way, mine, but they still knew that space. And then for two years straight, I commuted in New York. I'd fix. I had my car business, collision business, flipping houses and apartments. I take those profits, jump on a plane every other week, and fly back to Phoenix and blow all those profits trying to get my infomercial business crazy, man. There was a time where I was burning. Now it doesn't seem like up. And I was burning ten grand a week.
It's a ton of.
And I was flipping houses like a madman to cover the losses. And everybody's like, you know, this is when, you know. Yep, everybody. My sister drove up from Virginia to sit me down and say, way too far.
Right?
Yeah, right. It was like, stop the crack. It's time to stop.
All you entrepreneurs will probably have that intervention with somebody, just see it coming before it gets there.
Yeah, right. And she told me. She's like. She basically told me with love, that you reached your plateau. It's amazing. You got to make the money you made, but now you stepped into something is too big for you.
It's way too big. Isn't it interesting that people project their own limitations onto you once they see you? So. And by the way, a lot of the times, it comes from love. They love you.
Came from love.
They don't want to see that to protect. They wanted to protect you. I think everyone should take a lesson here in that, you know, one of the top podcasts in the world, arguably right now, started with a guy not that long ago, me, who did not know how to get it out of the machine, onto the computer, out of the computer, into the world.
That's a great lesson.
You're talking about a man who's hundreds of millions of dollars in sales through an infomercial. He had no idea how to shoot, edit, Cottonmouth it, Tequila, Ed it, once he got it, didn't know how to get it anywhere. It's unbelievable. Right? Let me ask you a couple things about you, though. Like, I have watched you. I bet you've not been asked this before.
Okay.
And I think this goes all the way back to the lady who sold you the collision shop with nothing Down. I think people have different ways of being persuasive. And I have found myself over the years of watching you on television and then meeting you, you have what I would consider to be a high likeability factor. And I find myself. Even when I would watch you and I didn't know you, and I don't know if you're aware of this or not or if you've been told this before or you're conscious of it, because I think some great salespeople have this. I kind of root for you. I find myself, like, rooting for you even though you're already so successful. Are you conscious, like, of. Do you think it's just your spirit when you communicate with people, or are you conscious of projecting a certain version of you when you talk about people?
No, I don't think I'm conscious of it. I'm not. But what I have learned through the years. We all got in business for different reasons. I wanted to be successful because I hated not being in control of my life. As a kid, my parents were married nine times. Between the two of them, I moved 20 times.
Nine times.
Nine times. So never stability, you know, getting a new house. You gotta leave, go here, leave, move in with Grandma. So I think I hated the insecurity of my childhood, but it was my driving force. So thank you, God, the universe, whatever you believe in, thank you for that. Because it pushed me to go. Hey, I don't want. I don't know about you. You and I hit it off in the first three minutes we were talking, but I'm not a control freak. But I don't want anybody to ever tell me how to live. Me, too. How to dress, what to wear. If I want to wear orange sneakers today, I want to wear orange sneakers. I live where I want. I raise my kids the way I want. I don't get into peer pressure. I don't hang out with the Joneses or try to impress the Joneses. I just want to live my life. But I know that happened at a really young age. So backing up with your question is that drove me. So sometimes you need pain to drive you, and then you start being successful, then you can go to aspirational. Now, I want to be a better dad, be a better man, be a better human. But if you need pain to drive you, let it drive you.
Great point. Totally agree.
So that's the first part. Let the pain. And the thing is, don't ignore the pain. Let it seep into where it really disturbs you. Action comes from being disturbed. You don't move until you're uncomfortable. You don't put the air conditioner on until you're hot. You don't go to the next level until you feel the pain. So feel it. So anyway, I felt that. And when I first started, all I wanted to do was get out of that. I wanted to sell a lot of cars, fix a lot of houses, and when I got in the infomercial business, I wanted to help people, but I really wanted to create a business that made me money.
Yes.
I mean, I'd love to say I'm Mother Teresa. I'm not. I wanted to be wealthy so I could retire my parents and nobody tell me what the fuck to do. For lack of a better word.
Can I stay in with you? I think one of the things that people have a misnomer about is they see these very successful entrepreneurs. I think we have these grand visions of changing the world. In the very beginning, hell no. Most of us wanted to move away from something and we wanted to make money. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
But then I got addicted to the business, just like I know you are, dude. I see it in your heart. I mean, I've been obsessing on your videos lately. I've been watching them for a while. But obsessing on them lately is. I know the difference when someone's heart driven. I'm not talking about spiritual and your chakras are aligned. And I'm not making fun of that. I'm just talking about I'm addicted to helping people change their lives. And I love to get paid really well for. But I'm addicted to it, Right?
I know you are, so. And maybe that's just the goodness that I see that comes out.
So let me back up. But what I do know is I'm not consciously aware of it, but what I know through the years is I've allowed myself to be more transparent and say it like it is than anyone, than most people I see. And when I even go back and watch old videos, I go, wow, that to me, I'll be like, that was a tiny bit pretentious, man. Just let that shit go. And then I find stuff that I used to be embarrassed. Like I went through a divorce. I mean, it was, like, embarrassing for me at one point that, like, I'm the success guy, but it was never right in the beginning. And now we're dear friends and our kids are amazing and they're thriving, but instead of me hiding from that man, the more I leaned into why it happened it can help other people. And the more it healed me. So I think what you're probably feeling, which I appreciate you saying that, and no one's ever said that ever, but is I'm trying to be the most authentic version of myself that exists. Like, I don't ever want somebody. And you know this, too. How many times? Because you've had amazing guests, dude. The lineup you've had is incredible. But every once in a while, it's not so good to meet your heroes. And I don't mean, like, you meet them, not that you're a hero and you idolize them, but you're like, man, that guy's a badass. Or that woman, she's incredible. And then you're in the kitchen with him for 10 minutes, like, wow. Like, I don't ever want that. I want someone to say, I saw Dean on video, and then I met him, and then I saw him in a tight situation, and I saw him with his kids. All the same guy.
Yeah.
And I think that's where life, like, that's. I just want to be the same guy in all areas. And I think even though I'm working on myself, it comes through on video and my sales go up.
I think you're right. I think you're, like, having met you, it's your congruency. You are who you appear to be and more. And I think that just moves people. I just think people feel energy. You can't transfer to somebody that which you aren't experiencing. Your energy levels. Bananas, obviously. Let me ask you a couple entrepreneur questions. We'll jump back into the story a little bit. By the way, one of the things that I do want to have everybody know is that he's written five books. But Millionaire Success Habits is a great book. And, like, when I was reading it, my highlighter was on fire. Right. And we're going to talk about some of those habits in the book. But I don't. I don't like just plugging things at the end. Millionaire Success Habits is a book he's written. You will get tremendous value out of it. Get it. And we'll talk about that towards the end, too. But I want to make sure you all know that get. Because we won't be able to cover 95% of what's in that book. And I want you to have it because he wrote that to help you based. You know, just to be consistent with what he just told you. I want to ask you an entrepreneur question.
Yeah.
Earlier, you described collision shop, real estate, infomercial you had these different things going on. Would you recommend that to an entrepreneur who's listening to this now? Or do you believe they should be immersed in one area? Or do you think it doesn't matter?
No, I think. I think. I think we live in a shallow world. I think shallow meaning especially a new generation who grew up going through a stream. Right? So what used to be hours went to minutes, and now it's seconds. Right. If something doesn't catch you in a second, and I feel like a lot of people want that next level, which is great, everybody should. But we dabble in each one and we don't see enough spark, excitement, or light. So we back out and go to the next one. It's like. It's like they're looking for the magic money machine. And they're in one car, and they're like, this car might work. Oh, that car looks good. Then we jump out in the next one. And we jump out in the next one. So I would say, even though, you know, I'm 50 this year, so I've had, like, different lives, I went deep on all them. My collision shop was the best in town. That's why I landed Enterprise and Hertz Rental Car. And so I'm going to give you. Mind if I give three lessons?
Give it, please.
Maybe two or three. I just said three. But it's two or three. I'm thinking in my head. One is, no matter what you're doing, even if you hate it, realize it's temporary and be amazing at it. I sat down with John Paul DiGiorio, who started Tequila Patron and Sassoon, and.
He said he hated me a couple times this week. Go ahead.
Yeah. He said he hated when he had a janitorial job when he was a kid. But he said, man, it was my job. I cleaned every. I used to. The boss came to us and said, man, I lifted up the desk. You cleaned under the desk? He's like, the guy thought I loved the job. I hated it. I just did it the best. And I realized one of my biggest. My first big real. My first real estate deal did over a million bucks. True story. I was fixing a guy's car, and I'm in the collision shop. I'm gonna be completely transparent. I hated the collision shop. I ended up being the only painter because I got good at it. So every night when everybody left, I paint for three hours. The ventilation wasn't good. I'd have headaches. I hated every inch of it. But you'd never know if you came in you'd be like, that guy loves being in the collision shop. I knew it was temporary, because don't think I'm just gonna schlub through this job, and then my magic will come. You'll be screwed. You'll stay there, because how you do one thing is how you do everything. So I'm literally in the collision shop. I have this guy, he comes down. He's like, my God, my car looks great. Thank you so much. We get talking, come kind of French really quick. And he says, what are you up to? I'm like, well, I'm doing this, but I'm working on my day job. My night job is real estate. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna take real estate to a whole other level. He's like, what do you got going on? At that time, I was working on a deal for $180,000 to buy an old vineyard, and I didn't have the money. I scraped up every credit card I had. I came up with, like, 45 grand. The seller agreed to sell it to me for half down and half in two years. I needed 45 grand. I tell this guy the story. I said, but I'm gonna get it. He goes, yeah, you're gonna get it, because I'm going home to get it for you.
Oh, my gosh.
Now, what if I was like, I hate closing. Yeah, here's your keys.
Yeah.
I made a million dollars on that deal. The first one ever documented. I sold that property. I killed it on that property. Killed it all. The neighbors didn't want me to build on the property, and I was fighting them. And then I realized, wow, what if I sell it to them? So I sold them all a piece around, and I crushed it. So that's the first thing. So no matter what you're doing, find a way to be enthusiastic, knowing that maybe the universe, God, whatever you believe in is putting you through your trial run to deserve that. And then the next thing. I love this phrase. I've been saying it for about six months. Success tax.
Yeah, I heard you say it earlier.
You know what I love about that? Somebody told to me, I didn't make it up, but I found my own version of it. It's like, we all want to make more money. We all want to feel significance, abundance, freedom. But most people aren't willing to pay it. So a great analogy I've been using is, if you're in a band and you play the guitar and you write songs, it would be amazing to be at Madison Square Garden. 50,000 people singing your song. You're out in the front of the stage. I mean, could anything be more euphoric? Right? But everybody would want that. But who's willing to play the guitar when no one's watching until your hands hurt? Who's willing to pack up an old shitty van that barely runs and drive to dive bar after dive bar, playing where people are booing you? Most people aren't willing to put in the success tax to pay. And I said, what if you just visualized whether you believe in God, whatever you believe in, that there's an auditor, a success auditor. And I go, okay, Ed started with shit, lives in a ghetto. Okay. But he's still positive every day. Wow. He's still respectful. Wow. He tried that first business, and his first partner screwed him over, took all the money and left. Wow. He still got up the next day, still inspiring other people. Still not a jerk. Check, check. What if you gotta check off 10 boxes before. Before you get to the other side? Because once you get to the other side, it opens up like, Ed's amazing backyard. There's not many people playing at that level. Like, everybody thinks it's so competitive up here. It's not, because you guys are all fighting over crumbs. And I don't mean that disrespectfully, but all I'm saying is when you said, put in the success tax and know you're gonna fail, know it's gonna go sideways, but it's worth it. And those two things combined. Love what you do, and put in the success tax. And then all of a sudden, because I find I've been framing it more than ever, the success, that when shit goes sideways, I'm like, man, I just checked another box. I just checked another box. And all of a sudden I found a way to be enthusiastic.
Bro, that is a couple of my favorite things I've ever heard. Honestly.
