Run Any Business With Just Two Simple Things
Podcast 32:39 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes
Dan reflects on his trip to Mexico last week where he hung out with 200 founders and listeners of the pod.
Vulnerability, lessons from exiting a business, and a secretive membership called “being parents” were common themes.
Another major topic was the launch of our new coaching program, DC Accelerator. Dan talks about how getting to $1M and beyond takes not just willpower or desire, but most importantly, it takes discipline.
He shares the two tools required to run a business of any size. Whether you’re a 1-person operation of have 1000’s of employees, these two tools remain the same.
