00:00:00.000 One of my friends said that to me once.

00:00:01.340 He goes, I remember telling my wife five years ago

00:00:03.380 when the business was in a tough spot,

00:00:05.020 I need you to take care of the house

00:00:06.440 because I'm gonna be gone before the kids wake up

00:00:08.520 and I'm not gonna be back until they're in bed.

00:00:10.360 And for the next year, turned into two years,

00:00:12.820 he didn't see his kids.

00:00:13.940 And I'm like, they never asked you for any of that.

00:00:16.820 And if you ask yourself, why do you have to work like that?

00:00:20.520 It's because you're not willing to go look in the mirror

00:00:22.160 and figure out how are you showing up?

00:00:24.520 The world economy is there.

00:00:26.360 You don't have to work like that.

00:00:27.840 I wrote a book specifically to help people not build companies they grow to hate.

00:00:31.580 In 20 years, the only people that will remember you worked late are your kids.

00:00:35.440 No one's going to remember.

00:00:36.380 No one's going to care.
