00:00:00.000 lot of you guys, when you have opportunities to grow, you feel this pain line, I call it. You do
00:00:05.000 one of three things. The first thing is you decide this hurt. I'm going to do what I did last year
00:00:09.300 because I made more money and it was easier. I call it stalling. The problem with stalling is
00:00:13.680 gross domestic product increases every year, whether you like it or not. So your customer's
00:00:17.100 needs are going to grow. And the most importantly, your top people, they expect a future. So stalling
00:00:22.060 is not an option. The second one is sabotage, essentially dragging your feet, replying to an
00:00:26.320 email. It's deciding to come into your business and launch a whole new company, a whole new
00:00:30.800 product, knowing that it doesn't have the proper resources to succeed. But in doing that, it's
00:00:34.720 going to create chaos. And then through that chaos, you're going to be able to downsize and
00:00:37.760 you can blame it on that thing. The third one is sell. The truth is, is that no matter what
00:00:41.740 that next thing is, you will hit what's called your complexity ceiling. You will hit the same
00:00:45.340 place you're at today in regards to your ability to deal with chaos, your ability to deal with
00:00:48.780 people, your ability to be creative, and you'll run into the same problem. So it doesn't matter
00:00:52.580 what vehicle it is, you're still bringing you with you to that next thing.
