A founder explains why he's really building his business: to hire people so he can train jiu jitsu full-time and chase a world championship. He's working 14+ hour days with a rib injury and almost no sleep, frustrated that the business isn't moving fast enough to let him do what he actually wants.
The selfish reason that I'm growing this business up is so that I can hire the right people and put them in place, and I can have a lifestyle business. Because what I love to do is I love to chase my passions, Jiu jitsu. And I believe that I can be a world champion. But it's gonna take a lot of work. I'm way far away from that now, and I'm gonna need an undeniable advantage, and that's gonna be not having to work every day. So right now, while my rib. I've got an injury, I've literally been working every single day, 14 hours minimum, every single day, for the last month, and I haven't seen a lot of gains in my business, and I'm going crazy, and I'm not sleeping, and it's hard.
