In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have Dane Maxwell who shares insights about  some things that haven’t talk about before, explains what real but not true is, what is identity crisis & how to work with it, how to make friends with your mind, the best business to start with, and how to become a superhuman profitable creator!

Dane Maxwell is an entrepreneurial guru, Founder at Start from Zero, a platform that helps aspiring entrepreneurs to start a business with no ideas, no money, and no experience. He has built 2 million dollar businesses, he has 15 students that are all millionaires, very passionate about identity and creating very profitable enterprises, and building courses, and communities online making a difference for someone. 

According to Dane, the worst thing and the best thing that you think of yourself are just thoughts. That’s not who you are either. Knowing oneself and self-awareness is necessary to achieve a happier life. We buy into illusions that if something happens, it will make us happy but it’s not. When we are happy & free that’s who we are. 

On the other hand, Dane loves listening really deeply to people for their real problems. He listens to know whose life is going to improve. Ask quality questions and just listen to come up with solutions to a problem.  Dane reminds everyone that you’re worthy of helping someone and you’re worthy of solving someone’s problem.

Also, he suggested not being expert in the mechanism that you’re providing because real entrepreneurs are not the people mastering their mechanisms. Just believe in yourself that you can do it!
