Carl J. Cox 2:50

So congratulations for meeting that massive threshold, that is not easy accomplishment. And so let’s let’s kind of talk about that. Just to start with, what for you, you know, what, what’s kind of been the biggest thing you’ve learned of being in business for 10 years.

Adi Klevit 3:12

You know, it’s persistence it is, that’s what I learned is you persist, right? I mean, it’s interesting, the first few years, you just have to persist and know what you’ll also be very focused in what you’re doing, I can tell you Carl when we started, it was had a business partner at the time, and it was more like spaghetti against the wall. Okay, whatever sticks, right? It’s kind of like we are very knowledgeable in a lot of things. And we try different things. And then, and then when I actually found the niche, and became very specialized in that particular area, that’s where things start taking off, and then persist on that line. So it’s really identity, I would say, identify what you’re good at, figure out how you can do it. And then persist in getting what you want. And of course, have a strategy because you’re right. I mean, you know, we were talking the beginning in terms of like, businesses don’t have a strategy, you have to have a strategy, otherwise you don’t know where you’re going. So that definitely was very key to my success and staying in business is having a strategy following it in a tactical manner in order to achieve what I need. What I want the goal, basically.
