This is episode number 179. I was talking to somebody earlier today, and we were just going back through my journey, right? Like, I'm talking about my business journey, what I have done, what I've gone through. And the more I talked to this guy's name is Tim. And the more I realized that I made so many mistakes when I first started. And that's one of the reasons I always always, always tell young entrepreneurs that they must be patient, because when I first started my business and now I wanted it all. And I wanted it right now. And I was just making mistakes after mistakes. And honestly, like Tim said that I was like a cat because I had nine lives. And it should have been like that because I should have known. But nobody was there to mentor me. Nobody was there to tell me, you know, we didn't have podcasts at that time. We did not have YouTubes, all that other stuff. And I made so many mistakes. I was over-leveraging myself. I was undercapitalized, did have no working capital was going day to day thing. I was basically in a hamster wheel. And when you're in a hamster wheel and the hamster is running, I mean, the wheel is going faster and faster and faster, and as soon as it little piece of debris gets stuck in there or the wheel stops. And it doesn't matter how hard you try, how hard that debris stuck in that wheel and nothing is gonna happen. And that was me. I mean, that happened to me so many times. And I was talking to Tim earlier, and Tim was like, Well, what made you make it? How did you get out of it? I said, Tim, the difference between me and a lot of other people is that a lot of the people quit because they are like, well, when is the time to quit? And nobody knows when the time to quit is. And I didn't quit. And I got out of it.
