Everyone's chasing that big number.
10M. 50M. 100M.
But when you hit it, then what? Sit on the beach sipping drinks? Trust me, that shit gets old way faster than you think.
Without purpose, people self-destruct.
Look at Tony Hsieh from Zappos… sold for $400M, sunk into substance abuse and died in a freak accident. Or Markus Persson, the guy who created Minecraft… sold for billions, but ended up sad and lonely.
The problem is never the money. The problem is what happens when there’s no journey left.
That’s why guys like Bezos and Musk keep building. They don't chase the number. They chase purpose and growth. Money is just the natural byproduct of that.
I built the Deal Maker Alliance for that reason.
It’s the place I go to keep myself surrounded with business owners and founders who each have a their own journey but know we're here for the long game.
If you want to keep growing and living with purpose, you need to come get around people who understand this.
Because most people don't.
