I prayed more on the toilet than anywhere else growing up
Constipated for years
Not a DUDE Wipes ad
Just my life
Maybe you're constipated too
Not physically
Your business
My business is down 13%
First problem I haven't solved in 48 hours
Ever
I know how to grow companies
Built that muscle my entire career
I don't know how to run one on the way down
Completely different skill set
If money could fix this, it would just be an expense
Real problems don't care about your bank account
They require something you don't have yet
New thinking
New discipline
New muscles you never built
I'm building a company that outlives me
That runs for a thousand years
Can't do that if I only know one direction
Up
The hard truth about plateaus
Companies don't stay flat
They grow or they die
The market decides
Not you
I've got to crack this
Not for my ego
For everyone who believed in this thing before it was worth believing in
When's the last time you faced a problem money couldn't solve?
