As your revenue goes up, you should be working less and less and less, not more and more and more. It's usually the opposite for most people that we work with. They're doing a $500K, $1 mil, $2 mil, $3 mil. You've got the cash flow to reinvest it back into the business to get your time back, which is the most important asset. Don't just think you can just make all this money and have no time to do anything with it. All your family's not going to see you until they're, until they're grown up, and by that time it's all too late. Now you don't have the relationship, you don't have the You've established connection with your family for long-term success. And then once they're 18 and grown up, they just do their own thing and they don't need you anymore. And all that sacrifice was for nothing. So even more when you've got the revenue there and you choose not to hire the right people or to automate certain things or to systemize certain things. So that's what we help people do. It's pretty clear on the show, we help people get their time back. So if you feel like you're working a bit too much, you want more time with your family, but you still obviously wanna grow the business as well, 'cause we help people scale their revenue while getting their time back.
