As being raised in a ministry home. It's like sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice for everybody else and feeling bad to ever take something for yourself. The fact is, right now we're over $100,000 in debt. We're not making enough profit. There's not enough cash. We're stressed out of our mind. And we're not creating opportunities for our guys because we can't afford to. Fixing that is not selfish. Thinking that everything we must sacrifice for is a problem with our psyche. And I say are because I have the same thing. Everything must be hard. Everything must be sacrificial for others. Everything must be giving. And eventually what happened a year and a half ago happens. You run out of steam, you have nothing to give.
