Tropical MBA: Entrepreneurship & Founder Lifestyle

#755 - Run Any Business With Just Two Simple Things


Listen Later

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.
