My name is Patrick. I sell residential remodeling and new homes, custom homes, to wealthy individuals.

We do 1.3 in revenue last year. I'd like to be at a billion. Yeah, funny. Me too. Yeah. So what's stopping me,

obviously, is me.

But I guess more seriously is I know that like the end goal is for me to do development.

That's probably 30, 40 years, you know, to get to the billion or whatever it is, 25, who knows?

The question is, is how do you stay focused enough on the thing you're doing right now

and the current track and the current business you're at and not get sidetracked to where you want to be? Because my problem is is

that I chase where I want to be at in 10 years and I'll take opportunities. I'll take those meetings.

I'll take this. I'll take that. But I have no capacity to actually be there, let alone the experience

to build a $100 million building.

Understood. So I would ask you this, which is, do you see how what you're doing today ties to

what you're going to be doing then? Yes. And part of me always questions is, am I waste of my time?

But I have to be able to build out the framework of,

hey, this is how we deliver products. We have a team to do it. If we can build a $2 million home,

we obviously have a standard of what we do, and that allow us to build a $5 million commercial

building. And it's very related. It's different, but it's related. But I always get trapped in,

like, am I wasting the next four

years in my life? Or is this next four years required to become the person in the company that we need

to be in the future? Well, I'd ask you this, which is, is it that you don't think that you're,

because you said it's me stopping me, me right or do you mean that it's

the business model like is there a way that you could just go straight into doing that i always question

this and i tried this last year and what it comes down to is that i basically have to it's all
