Speaker 1 (0:02) This is Wake Up To Wealth, a podcast dedicated to helping you change the way you think about wealth. And now, here's your host, Brandon Brittingham. Speaker 2 (0:19) All right, this next segment is brought to you by my good friends at Accruity. Now, if you run a business, most business owners neglect their back office and they don't even know where to go or who to trust when it comes to their financials or CPA or taxes. That's where Accruity comes in. You can trust them. They can give you advice and they understand the back office. Listen, you're not running a business correctly if you don't have a hold of this. And it's really hard to trust people that are out there. And most CPAs, frankly, work for the IRS and don't work for you. That's not the case with Acruity. Check my good friends out at Acruity for any needs that you have when it comes to helping with your back office, getting your book straight, getting your taxes correct, and they guide you and give you advice, which most firms don't. So check out my guys at Speaker 1 (1:07) Acruity. Tell them I sent you. Speaker 2 (1:10) Hey, what's up, everybody? We are back with another episode of Wake Up To Wealth. And as I start off every show, it's the same way. But listen, I got to just say thank you, guys. We are trending almost to four and a half million downloads. We've really spiked listeners every episode now. We're close to 130,000 downloads per episode. And I cannot thank you guys enough. Cannot thank you enough. The support, the love. Speaker 2 (1:42) It's why the show has become what it is, is because so many people out there like you that are listening right now have supported it. So I cannot thank you guys enough. Like, share, leave us a review, tell your friends. We continue to grow the show. And we're consistently top five in investing on the charts and top 30, sometimes top 20. We've cracked into the top 15 in business. which is one of the hardest categories to compete with. We're competing with shows with millions of dollars of ad budgets, big studios behind it. And I'm literally here right now in my office shooting this. We have no budget. We're filming it ourselves. And we have no corporate sponsors. And I'm pretty proud of that. So today, it's going to be a little bit different. I want to come on here and talk to you guys for a few minutes because... I coach a lot of people. And I think a lot of things right now are sideways. I think things are sideways in a lot of people's businesses. I think times are tough for a lot of people. I think we Speaker 1 (2:53) went on this just insane, no Speaker 2 (2:54) matter what business you're in, this insane COVID run. And then we took a couple years to flush that out. We're on the opposite side of that. And so there's a couple of things I want to talk to you guys about today. that I think are just kind of normal trials and tribulations of business. And I hope this helps some of you out there. And why I'm doing this is because I'm having a lot of the same conversations with a lot of coaching clients, with a lot of entrepreneurs all over the United States. So I know it's timely and it's fresh and I want to talk to you guys about it. A couple of things. Number one, I think that you guys have heard me say this before, if you follow me or you're a follower of the show, that your income, your net worth, your growth is directly tied to the pain tolerance you can take. And I think one of the things that... A lot of people have a misconception on or misconstrue is as you grow and as you get bigger, that things are going to get easier. In fact, it's quite the opposite. As you grow and as you start to
