Yet, long hours and trying to do it all yourself is not good. "That's not how you scale up, that's not how you have a successful business," he said. Once you get to a certain point, you know always try to look to delegate and always look for support because you can't do everything by yourself. Even if you can, you're going to go a lot slower than you if you have some help."    The parallel between growing a business and becoming fit.    [ 19:09 – 21:09 ] In the beginning, things are difficult, but you find strength when you keep at it, getting better and stronger over time.

People should look at our lives and be somewhat inspired to make a change, which makes the world a better place.
