How to raise capital. So there are record amounts of capital sitting inside private equity companies and venture capital firms. They just keep raising more and more money. And what are they doing with it? They're waiting. They're waiting to find companies that are growing at double digits every week, every month, every quarter. If you're doubling every week, month, or quarter, they will find you, in which case they will compete for your business to put money into it because they want to invest in that growth. Your growth rate is their investment return, so they are seeking the companies with the highest and longest duration growth rates. So if you can prove that your company, your organization, your business continues to grow at a very high clip, all of that capital just sitting there waiting, looking for good investments in trillions of dollars, will find you. So really the only thing to do is to keep that growth rate incredibly steep and then don't break the law. That's number 2. And take care of your people because they're the ones that produce the growth. That's it. Have a great day.
