Stop letting people who haven't achieved what you want dictate your decisions. Jeff Bezos doesn't worry about one bad Google review. Seek advice only from people who've already done what you're trying to do.
Everyone's here trying to play safe. Everyone here is trying to— I don't want to screw up my Google review. I get it. I'm not saying go screw it up. But listen, when you hire, things are gonna happen. Guess what? We live in a beautiful world and people— you can pay people to take off negative reviews now. I'm not saying go screw it up. I'm not saying get negative reviews. But I'm saying don't constrain your growth because you're worried about a damn Google review. That's what you guys do. You make excuses. I don't want to mess it up because we're growing and I'm gonna lose customer. Yes, you are. It's the trade-off of growth. Do you think Jeff Bezos is sitting on his yacht right now now spending $300 million on the plane he's probably trying to buy that's never been done thinking about a Google review? No, he's thinking about how can I take over the world. Where are you coming from with your thought process? And I'm not worried about here because you guys will crush it here, but when you get home by yourself, when you're sitting in the shower thinking about the big moves you're getting ready to make— I'm gonna get that location, I'm gonna sell 5 things of popcorn, I just need proof of concept, I need one sell, my friends tell me it's going to be amazing— cool. Have they bought any yet? Because your friends ask for discounts or free, Your friends will tell you what you want to hear because they don't want to hurt your feelings. Dumb idea. Here's why. Not just knock it down, but give you a reason why. And oh, by the way, only ask them if they're where you want to be, not with where you don't want to be. Right? The 400-pound trainer is not telling me how to lose weight. And if he does, I don't have to listen to him because he clearly knows what he's doing, or her, whoever. Right?
