Million Dollar Entrepreneur Success Factors - Lee Benson And Harry Sardinas

True leadership isn’t about doing more.

It’s about creating more value.

For over 25 years, Lee Benson has been on a mission to prove this. He founded 7 companies with exits from a few million to well into 9 figures and partnered with leadership teams from scrappy 4 person startups to global organizations of 40,000+.

Through it all, one truth stood out: the greatest challenge leaders face is accelerating the rate at which they create value. Whether driving cash flow and profit in the private sector or expanding impact in nonprofits, value creation is the lifeblood of every successful team.

That insight inspired Lee to design the MIND Methodology (Most Important Number and Drivers Methodology). Unlike traditional systems that often make process the focus, MIND anchors every action to improving a team’s Most Important Number. It ensures clarity, accountability, and progress regardless of who is in the room.

Now, as Founder & CEO of Execute to Win (ETW), Lee is helping leaders around the world rise above complexity, align their teams, and unlock extraordinary results.

✨ The takeaway? Success isn’t about chasing growth for growth’s sake. It’s about clarity of purpose, disciplined focus, and empowering people to make meaningful progress every single day.About The Guest

Lee Benson is a serial entrepreneur, CEO, and author of Your Most Important Number, a Wall Street Journal bestseller. Hes helped hundreds of leaders align their teams, scale with clarity, and create lasting value.
