Right, like, so you're going to do all these things and it may go, it may feel like, oh, I don't, you know, I don't want to have to do that. But one, you can look at it as a privilege is something we get to do. But two, you have to understand that the secret to time freedom as a entrepreneur, as a very successful entrepreneur, is a rock star team.
