And it took me 13 months after selling the brokerage to pay back everything that I owed. I owed investors. I owed partners. I owed vendors. And it was about a quarter million dollars of debt. And it was a lot of money. And I was defeated. But I knew that I could build myself back up. And it took me those 13 months. So I looked at what I learned during those 13 months and I looked at the victories.
