An entrepreneur warns that building a real organization takes three to five years of being mostly absent from home. He describes telling his wife about the long days ahead and promises that once the business is established, normal family life returns.
Please, please, you know, I hope you take, you know, what I'm gonna tell you serious right now. If you're married, you have a wife, you have kids, you don't have a big organization yet, go home and tell your wife she's not gonna see you for 3 to 5 years. You're gonna be out of the house for 3 to 5 years. Go tell your husband, you know, if you are the HVP's one, honey, you're not gonna see me that often for 3 to 5 years. What's gonna happen? Well, I'm gonna wake up a little bit early, I'm gonna go out there, do my thing, and I'm gonna come back home late. But after 3 to 5 years, I'll be back here in the house 24 hours. Well, that's what we did. I told my wife, you're not going to see me for 3 to 5 years. She didn't know. She said, oh no. I said, yeah, let me go. Let me go. Today she said, man, can you go out? Can you go out? Give me some time. The business is built. No, seriously, the business is built.
