00:00:00.000 If you're making $200,000 a year, you've created $2 million worth of value for the company.

00:00:05.060 I remember one time I had somebody in our finance team and I was doing this exercise and I asked them,

00:00:10.020 in five years, you're waking up. What's your personal and your professional life look like?

00:00:13.620 And they explained. I said, well, what do you want to be making? They were like $250,000 a year.

00:00:17.100 This was a bookkeeper. I was like, awesome. That's ambitious.

00:00:21.080 So here's the thing. If you're making $250,000, that means that you've created $2.5 million of value to the company.

00:00:27.480 Unfortunately, as you can probably see,

00:00:29.160 because you look at our books,

00:00:30.180 bookkeeping is not going to get you there.

00:00:34.520 where you can create that kind of value for the company

00:00:36.680 so that you can be compensated?

00:00:37.860 You want to make a half million?

00:00:38.980 Cool.

00:00:39.400 How did you make five million?

00:00:40.640 Because if you made me five million in 12 months period,

00:00:42.480 I'll give you half a million, no problem.

00:00:43.760 I'll do that deal with anybody on the street.

00:00:45.360 It's like, go show me how you individually created

00:00:48.220 net new $5 million.

00:00:49.780 I will give you 10% of that all day long.
