There's this concept of um and I think it's like people like Peter Till who talk about this like you have to have a unique perspective on things like what is your unique value? Like why should you be doing this thing? If you're going to an investor and they're like, you know, okay, we understand there's an opportunity in the marketplace, but why are you the one to solve this thing?
And when I talk to entrepreneurs, sometimes not not of you know, black descent or African American descent or African descent, I should say, um, I find entrepreneurs who may be in wildly successful businesses, but they have no passion for the business that they're in. Maybe they do you know,
street signs, right, whatever it is that they do. And I wonder if you could play the other side of that conversation, like when is it okay for us to just be opportunists and see an opportunity in the marketplace and go do something about it. There's no argument against that, that's for sure. I think it's funny when you talk
about why are you the person? If you're not the person, but you have a hundred thousand people saying that you are the person that about it, whether I think you're the person or where the investor things to your person. There's a hundred thousand people back there and they're buying my service who think I'm the person. They don't care about me. They care about the service. And so if you're trying to get funding and you have a whole bunch of tracks, you have a whole bunch of crazy fans. Um,
that's the volumes. Now they may be look other kinds of pattern matching, right, but results talk. So I think that that's the first thing to think about when you're when you were when you were saying um. And in terms of like taking opportunities, yeah, because sometimes you practice that this one fails, but you learn some things. You take another crack at it, a little while longer, a little bit later, another and then it's the next idea
that actually clicks. But if you're waiting for that perfect opportunity, probably aren't going to ever. So if you see something before it tested out and then hit that wall and say, Yep, this is not the business I want to be, that's much better than sort of waiting back and hoping for perfect situation, because that's not going to ever happen.
