There are times as an entrepreneur when you just want to shut down that drive you have and be like everyone else but you can't. You can't turn off who you are. The first awakening of every entrepreneur in history is when they realized they were different. The second is the discovery of innate motivation. The third is hearing the call of contribution, that voice that's saying you need to do more, be more and leave more behind. Once you realize who you're meant to be there's no way you can turn it off. You will move forward.

The Entrepreneurial Personality Type content was introduced into the market in 2015, at Genius Network with Joe Polish, and almost immediately people said that they needed more. 

They wanted to understand more, and they identified with the Entrepreneurial Personality Type and it changed their lives just listening to that presentation.

That might sound like an exaggeration, but that presentation at Genius changed my life. And for years people have been asking to go back to the very beginning of the podcast and re-record the Entrepreneurial Personality Type episodes.

This is crucially important content for anybody who's an entrepreneur to understand and to be able to create more momentum in our lives, to understand ourselves better, to move things forward, to understand how we react to the world as entrepreneurs.

Now, I share this episode with gratitude and with excitement and with everything that I've learned since I first introduced this all the way back in 2015.

I had a conversation at my event recently with an off-the-charts visionary about how frustrated he was that the people around him didn’t see what he saw. I know this feeling. I’ve struggled with it most of my life. Like all visionaries, I’m part of that small percentage of people that goes into the future, create a new reality, come back to the present, and demand that it becomes real. And like all visionaries, I’ve struggled most of my life to communicate what I see in that future. And for most of my career, this led to frustration and resentment of the people around me. The future was so real to me, so clear, so compelling. It just didn’t make sense that they didn’t see it as I did. What I’ve learned over time is that uncommunicated expectations lead to predetermined resentments. I also learned that it is my responsibility, my life‘s work, to help everyone around me see what I see. To communicate in a way that I am heard. To translate my vision into an actual plan that the people around me believe in and know they can execute.
Once I understood this, everything in my life got easier. But it’s never easy. Don’t let anybody tell you that it is. If you are a visionary running a company, this is one of the foundational principles of how you will create the life, income, impact, and business you want.

Individually self-made billionaires look fundamentally different. When we compare one against the other, it's hard to see what makes them similar, and easy to see what makes them eccentric and unique.

Through obsessive research of successful people throughout history, I developed the 10 Habits of the Self Made Billionaire. I was able to confirm and get even closer to the results these patterns created in my professional career when I worked side-by-side with and consulted with individuals who went from somewhat humble beginnings to 10 figure wealth and massive contribution.

The secret is, self-made billionaires are just like you and I, only with the habits that create success. The good news is, you can adopt these habits as well, and you don't have to be a billionaire.

There are two sides to every entrepreneur. One side is the visionary leader, changing the world, driving progress, and making a lasting impact for good. The reverse is a being of destructive habits who can profoundly harm the people around them. The difference between the two comes down to Pressure and Noise.

If you are going to reach your full potential, both are required for your success. The challenge for many entrepreneurs today is they're caught up in the hustle and impression that the only way to create success is to endure more noise than anyone else. This just isn't how it works. There is a path that great entrepreneurs throughout history have taken, it begins with making a commitment to lower pressure and noise.

This podcast talks about how the fight or flight response, which has been expanded to fight, flight, freeze or fawn, can impact entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are physiologically sensitive, momentum-based beings who are highly reactive to constraint. Constraint can show up physiologically when we respond to difficult situations.

While this survival mechanism can help entrepreneurs face their fears and succeed, it can also lead to burnout and feeling stuck. Entrepreneurs can get stuck in one of these four responses and remain there, leading them to build a company they don't want to be in. 

Each of the four responses can show up in an entrepreneur's language and behavior. In this podcast, you will learn how to deal with these responses and how there is no one thing that can fix everything.

It's one of the most difficult realities of being an entrepreneur. In the beginning, when you are responsible for everything, failure becomes just another bump on the way to success. As you grow your business, you come to realize that the habits that you developed as you started your business are going to hold you back from success in the future.

Growing a business is the ultimate form of personal development because it requires us to deprogram the mindset that we must change everything in order to be successful, and that creating a winning culture on your team is the only path to long-term success.

This is the letter I wish I had received before I became a CEO over 25 years ago. There is so much about accepting this position that we are not told or warned about. When we accept the position of CEO, we commit to being different than everyone else so that we can make a contribution greater than everyone else. It is the most difficult thing you will ever do, but the rewards are eternal.

It is a position that carries with it so much responsibility that most can't take it. For the few, the committed, the obsessed who can't imagine anything else, this is for you. 

This is the advice that you will not receive from anyone else. It is the truth of being the CEO you are called to be.

As entrepreneurs, we live for momentum. We need it like the rest of the world needs oxygen. But, no matter who you are or what you are doing, it is inevitable that you will fall out of momentum and feel it in your life and body. It can manifest as frustration, anxiety, anger, or a lack of motivation. When this happens, it can be difficult to get the momentum going again.

I have discovered a hack, a strategy, that allows you to create instant momentum and it works every time. 

Give momentum to someone else.

In this podcast, I will share with you the strategy I use to generate momentum on demand. When we feel momentum lacking in our lives, the fastest way to create it for ourselves it to give it away to someone else. When you share momentum with the world, that contribution generates momentum.

Written communication can be misinterpreted based on the recipient's state of mind and emotions. Especially for entrepreneurs, the tone we write in is exactly the emotion you are feeling at the time, regardless of if you recognize it or not. Have you ever sent an email and thought you did it all professionally, in spite of what you really wanted to say, and the person still got offended? That’s what I’m talking about in this podcast episode.

By addressing the issue directly and providing a solution, conflict can be calmed and clarity can be established. Written communication often leads to more conflicts and misunderstandings compared to personal conversations. Getting on a call or video conference allows for better resolution of issues. Reading an email or text in an angry or passive-aggressive voice can help identify potential misunderstandings. Handling conflicts personally and seeking direct communication helps create momentum in business and relationships.

In this podcast, you will learn a five step process to completely shift the way you approach conversations in your business.

For entrepreneurs, it is incredibly important to maximize your energy, engagement, and presence in order to make better decisions and be more productive. The advice commonly given to entrepreneurs, like grabbing coffee and immediately starting work, can negatively impact energy levels and lead to a massive crash, and I don’t just mean in the afternoons. In this podcast, you will learn how to optimize energy and productivity, including blocking blue light in the morning, maintaining your hydration, and going outside for natural light exposure and a walk. 

Blue light exposure and dehydration creates massive constraint on the body. When you prioritize your energy and well-being, you will see increased productivity and a sense of possibility.

I often share with entrepreneurs that process will set you free. What I mean is that process will protect you to the point where you have more protection than you ever have. The more you develop the processes in your business, the more you will create a system that protects your time and focus to allocate them on what will grow your business. The more process you create, the more your team will step up and free you up to focus on the strategic outcomes in your business.

In this podcast, I share the system we use to develop process in your business quickly, and how creating process, structure, and routine will set you free to make the impact you’ve always known you should.

As entrepreneurs, we often feel like we need to challenge ourselves to the absolute extreme in order to drive ourselves forward. A goal doesn’t mean as much to you unless its as intense as climbing mount everest. In many ways, this is a superpower for you in your business, but it has a significant drawback.

Your team is not wired the same as you. Even if they share your entrepreneurial spirit, as a team member, they see the realities of your business in an entirely different way than you do. I recently shared this concept with a member in our coaching program. In order for your team to be fully committed, you must do one really uncomfortable thing…

Pull the target closer.

In this podcast, I’ll show you how to create goals that you and your team can achieve together and win.

As an entrepreneur, one of the most valuable skills we can develop is leadership.

Growing as a leader can be incredibly difficult when we have so much going on around us that is demanding our time, effort, energy, and focus. One of the fastest shortcuts to blocking out the noise and focusing on growing as a leader is nervous-system regulation. 

In this podcast, I discuss how cold plunging has radically increased my capacity to lead my team. I was introduced to cold plunging by a friend who is a healer and breathwork instructor, Shane Saunders. I started cold plunging after several months of hesitation and gradually increased the time they spent in cold water from 10 seconds to a minute and a half, with a noticeable decrease in bodily tension. 

Through this consistent practice, my presence and awareness with my team has increased, and microdosing on the fear of death has increased my capacity to lead them well.

In order to grow as an entrepreneur, you must go from doing everything in your business to having help and support. Especially when it comes to the day-to-day operations of the business. This process of transitioning is not just a single hire; it requires a methodical and systematic approach to permanently delegate tasks. 

In most cases, bringing in a high-level executive is not necessary for early-stage companies. Instead,hiring an assistant or someone who is operationally minded to document the day-to-day tasks and to delegate them methodically is the best place to start. 

In this podcast, I outline a process for bringing in operational help that starts with conducting a two-week time study, creating a list of tasks that can be offloaded, documenting the processes, improving them, and handing them off to the assistant. By following this process, you will feel like you have more time and more confidence in the process of delegation. Delegating tasks through this process is way more effective than trying to find someone who will fix everything in one go.
