I want to live my life and I want it to be outside of work. Even though I love my work, I want to live my life and I want to spend that time with my family and my wife and my kids. And I want to spend it riding my bike and skiing. And so you have to, you have to make that choice. Like, hey, yeah, I'm going to train people so that I get them to the point where I can take a mini retirement. And that mini retirement I'm going to like, if it were me today, I would set a goal. I'd say, hey, in June of 2025, I'm going to go on a month long trip and I'm going to buy plane tickets right now and then I'm going to work my butt off to get to that point. So I'm going to hire someone. I'm going to hire an executive assistant right now and then I'm going to hire a graphic designer, I'm going to hire a content writer, whatever, whatever the things that you need in your business. I would start hiring those people and start training them and start getting things off of your plate so that you can do that.
