Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm your host, Paul Alex.

I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.

I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals.

Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six.

Get ready to level up right now.

Welcome back to a level up podcast.

I'm Paul Alex.

And in three minutes, you'll learn a clear way to tell if you should grow your business or just let it go.

All right, guys.

So I once placed a machine in a spot that looked perfect.

When I'm talking about machines, I'm talking about a credit card machine.

Okay.

So great foot traffic, great vibe, terrible numbers.

Okay.

But every week, I wanted it to work.

I was just like, okay, if I leave the machine, maybe they're having a bad month.

I'll come back, you know, in a couple of weeks.

Every week, the data said it was a dead location.

I kept paying fees for the machine and I was losing time.

So I was defending my pride, not my future.

So I had to pull the machine out of there and put that effort into a winning location.

And what ended up happening when I put that little credit card machine into another location, my residuals actually doubled in a month.

Okay.

And I felt silly for waiting for so long, but that lesson stuck.

And that was in the very beginning of my second venture now that has generated over $22 million, guys, in two years.

So you got to love the mission.

Do not fall in love with the bad lane, guys.

Good leaders read the field with clear eyes.

If the pool is real, you will feel demand.

Calls will come in.

People will ask for more of you or your product.

The work brings energy, even when it's hard.

If the pool is fake, you chase and chase.

You explain more than you deliver.

You feel dread before you start.

This is true at a desk job and in a startup.

A healthy project earns trust, time, and results.

A weak project drains trust, time, and sleep.

Your job is not to force a bad fit.

Your job is to find the right fit.

So if you ask if the work is moving the mission forward, ask if the numbers match the story.

Ask if the team grows you and your company when you push.

And if the answer is yes, scale with care.

If the answer is no, release it with respect.

Bailing is not quitting.

Bailing is choosing the better fight.

Scaling is not noise.

Scaling is repeating what already works.

Your future thanks you for clear choices, guys.

Your peace thanks you for even more.

So here's the moral of this pod.

Courage is seeing things as they are and acting fast.
