Nathan Platter
Speaker 1:

All right, this is part two to that last episode. My wife called and she was making sure she knew her part on doing the wrap up of this because there's a lot that's going to be going on. But yeah, for folks that say this is easy, this is fun, people make big money. If you own a business, look at the stats. That is a flat out lie. It's something in the ballpark of 80% or so of businesses, the owner makes less than $100,000 a year. You're more likely, I want to say I believe last I checked, you're more likely to make $100,000 as an employee, as you are a business owner. So if you're wanting to make your mark, make your fortune, whatever, you're better off being an employee and then either being a sales rep or being an expert in your craft I'm in data analytics You're better off being a very, very good employee than you are owning a business, and it's way more hours, way more stress, way more riding on your shoulders. And so for folks that are crabby at people who own businesses or whatever, like sorry, the truth is the opposite, that that is reality.

Speaker 1:

So all I have to say I'm pulling up to the studio, um, it's go time and um, I'm gonna start doing that. So that's where we're at, that's where we're going. And, um, tonight the Vikings play, so I'm gonna to turn my phone off of access mode. I'm going to put it on hibernate. Do not disturb, I'm going to sleep really well tonight and tomorrow. I hope people don't show up because the place will not be available at 5 am or 6 or 7 or 9 am. That's where we're at, that's where we're going. Let's rock and roll.
