You wanna know what I learned from Robert Kiyosaki? He wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad. Sure. If you actually want your business to grow, it's not by focusing on your business first. So what I mean by that, you can't focus on your business forever. And his whole thing was he was spending way too much time on his business. My friend and I, we asked him a question. We're just like, hey, we're in our 30s now, but like, I think we're realizing that it's not just all about business. He's like, I used to prioritize business first and then I prioritize kids second and then the spouse third, right? And then from there, you know, he realized that his spouse wasn't happy and they went to this one entrepreneur's event where all the entrepreneurs were like super successful and they're all 9s out of 10s, right? They love their life, right? But their spouses are all 6 out of 10. That's the average, right? His friend told him, he's like, dude, you got to reprioritize. Like, if you want the business to work, if you want everything to work, it's got to be the spouse first, then the kids, and then the business. I think a lot of people, because they've been so default on for the business, they made all the money in the world, but they're alone and depressed and they have nobody to go to. They have no companionship, right? It's because they locked on too hard to the business.
