A brief, informal monologue warning that selling a company or having money alone does not guarantee purpose. Using an anecdote of someone who sold their company for $600 million and subsequently lost relationships and direction, the speaker urges listeners to have concrete plans and long-term goals (12 months to decades) or risk feeling "dead in the water."
I know you're like, dude, but 45. I'm going to retire. I'm going to sell them and be rich. It's not happening, dude. I know people that's sold their company for $600 million. He lost his best friends, his workers, with them, he worked with. He lost his company, sold it. He already could do whatever he wanted to do inside the money he already had coming in. Now he has $600 million. Like, he has purpose, drive, goals. What do you got? You better have a plan, if not your next 12 months, 24 months, 20 years, 30. Like, dude, you're dead in the water. You're just walking around wasting breath.
