In this episode, I talk about how important it is to have a sense of opportunity. I think a lot of people miss out on the opportunities that are out there. I mean, if someone woke up and they said, "I have a dream to own a $5 million business, I don't know how that would happen. I just quit my job. I know that there is somebody out there that has a $600 million business and they have a division that is annoying, and it's a $50 million division. And if somebody sat next to them on a plane and happened to show initiative, they would happily give it to that person. And I know, that happens every day. I shut down all the time. That's half a million dollars in revenue. In that moment, where the winner is, we're gonna go push on the winner.
