 You don't remember, I told you I went and talked to the local P-TAC, South Dakota P-TAC. And the project manager over there was talking about how some proteges could be sidelined after the joint venture contract is secured. So then I had a question of how do you circumvent that? How do you go about what would Eric do in a case like that, say that way? You know what, if you got into a mentor project arrangement and you got a contract with a large firm and you said, let's say the contract was $2 million and the large firm took advantage of you and they sidelined you. Do you think you have learned from that experience? Okay, so guess what, the lesson that you will have learned will probably be more valuable than the money you would have gained. And I would have, what I would say is I would tell you to do it anyways, because why? You can't get a $2 million job on your own. So what this guy is telling you to do is be afraid and not take a chance because this may happen to you. I'm telling you, don't be afraid to take a chance. And if it happens to you, that's fine. It just depends on how you look at it. You may look at it as a negative consequence, but I'm looking at it as a positive outcome because why? Now guess what? You can come back to me and say, Eric, man, I had a $2 million job. I did a $2 million project. You worked on a $2 million project. Do you have the past performance now? Get in? Yes. Of course. You just told me you don't have past performance. You just got $2 million on past performance. That's worth something. Absolutely. Yeah. So the people are operating out of a base of fear, and they're talking to you from a base of fear. Okay. You understand the difference? Yes. Yes. I'm not telling you to do. I'm not telling you to be. I don't care. I don't care if the guy screws you because what, it's not going to, it's you're going to learn in the process no matter what happens and what you learn is going to be more, it's going to be extremely valuable. And I promise you it will not be a waste of your time. Okay. Wouldn't you like to be going through, would you not like to be going through an experience right now with $2 million job? Oh, absolutely. Okay. I mean, do you have the money now? So okay, let's, let's, let's put it this way. Get in. What if I said to you, listen, get in. That's what I'm going to do. I have a friend of mine. He's a, he owns a company and they're going to do this contract to do $2 million. Would you like to shadow him on the project? For free? Of course. Thank you. What's the difference? It's just how you look at it. You would go out there and you would shadow someone for $2 million on a $2 million project. You might even volunteer to help work on a $2 million job just to learn about it. So what is the difference between working with a mentor who, who, who doesn't pay you on the $2 million job? It's no different. It's just how you perceive it. Someone like this P-Tech guy, wherever this, this clown was, he's going to say, well, I wouldn't do it because they might just screw you. Okay. What did they screw me out of exactly? Because I wouldn't have had an opportunity if it wasn't for them. I wouldn't be, I wouldn't have any, I don't have the experience for them. I didn't, certainly didn't, you didn't have the money to do it. You didn't have the, the, the, you couldn't get the credit line to do it. So what exactly did they screw you out of? If anything at all, they helped you. You so, you see the difference. It's just a matter of perspective. How do people perceive things? This guy, again, like I said, when I hear that as a person, I bring out a fear. I would tell you, man, listen, get in. If that happened to you, I would tell you to go back and do it again. And I bet you the next time you did it, you would know some, you do some things differently. And you'd have more to bring to the table. Now you can say, Hey, look, guess what? I just, I've already worked on two mental contract. So I can tell you guys how it's going to work. I could tell you what's going to happen. I could tell you what's not going to happen. I could tell you how to get paid. I know the payment system, stuff that you don't even know now. You'll know, you know, the first time that I worked with a company, like what you're talking about, the guy, he tried this. He, you know, we brought him in on a job. It was, uh, it was like 600,000 and, uh, we brought him in, got the contract. He was the main guy and he tried to screw us out of like 80 grand. Were we upset? Of course we were upset, but he, all of the paperwork that I used came from him. He taught me how to formulate my paperwork. He taught me how to, uh, to look for subcontractors. He taught me how to be, how to be weary of subcontractors. He taught me construction one on one. And at the end of the day, we ended up getting our money from him. But what we learned, I learned how to run and manage a construction project with this guy. So I got paid to learn. It's like a paid internship. Yeah. So you could, so maybe you might get a paid internship or maybe you might get an unpaid internship, but you're going to get, you're going to be firsthand in contract, working with the government. You're going to be meeting government people, working with government officials, working with contractors and officers. You can't buy that experience. The guy who told you this can't even give you that experience. Yes. He can't. Your P tech guy can't give you that. No. So I would, I mean, I would jump head, I would jump in headfirst. I would tell you, man, if you get something like that, do you didn't go headfirst? Don't even worry about the people taking advantage of you. Now, no reason to, no reason to worry about it because you're going to, guess what you look at, like you're taking advantage of them. Like, man, this guy's about to teach me all this stuff for free. He's an idiot. You know, like seriously, you follow me? Yes, yes, absolutely. Yeah, you come on. Don't be, don't be negative about it. Be like, oh, listen, this guy's about it. Listen, we about to get a two, three minute job and look, you know what I'm saying? I just got to tag along, you know, and he's going to teach me all the paperwork and da, da, da, da, da. Listen, all the lies he tells to the government, that's fine. You'll pick up on them. You'll learn them for the future. Like, okay, he, that's how he lied. That's how he got around this. This is what he said. This is what he wrote. And then he has to send you all the paperwork. So you're going to get all the paperwork and all the documents. He's got to send it to you. You're going to have all the paperwork, all the documents, all the forms, how to learn, how to submit the bid, learn how to write the proposal, learn how to build the government, learn how to collect the money on the government, learn what to say, learn the clauses, getting, you're going to get a 50, 60, $70,000 education. You can't lose. Absolutely. There's no losing on that.
