Each of us has our own set of dangers (things we’re afraid of losing), opportunities (the possibility of gaining something), and strengths (our unique skills and experience). I call these our “D.O.S.” issues, and I’ll show you how to use them every day as your key to never-ending growth. This also gives you a repeatable way to gain insight into what matters most to your clients and prospects and cultivate a growth-focused relationship with them.

Everyone complains about time speeding up, so we've done something fast, easy, and simple to solve this problem for entrepreneurs around the world. The 25-Year Framework is a single solution for dozens of the most irritating and energy-draining time pressures that plague the business and personal lives of even the most successful entrepreneurs and their teams. What's even better, the transformation from "time scarcity" to "time abundance" begins to occur in the 60 minutes it will take you to listen to this book.

Every entrepreneur starts out as a great salesperson. It's how you built and grew your business. But at a certain point, you're creating so much value that you become sought-after in the marketplace. And that's when you become the buyer. No longer will you just take any opportunity that comes your way. No longer will just any customer or client be worth your time and effort. Discover the characteristics of a buyer mindset that attracts others to you, and leave the selling phase of your life behind.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it was clear that it would impact all of our lives in important ways and we would have to drastically change the way we communicated with one another and did business. Would we fight back against the changes and wait for the “old normal” to return, or adopt new technologies and adapt to the new way of doing things? Though the Zoom video conferencing platform was already being used by individuals and businesses around the world, the pandemic made its use a necessity, and those who embraced it and mastered it thrived.

Every day, there are multiple things vying for our attention - people, businesses, technologies, apps. But many of us don’t realize that our attention is our property. It belongs to us just like any other resource we own. And when we choose what we give our attention to, we can focus fully on our own purpose and on what’s best for us. When you take a step back and think about your thinking, you can take control of your attention, as well as your time and your purpose, rather than allowing others to be in control. It’s up to you.

We all have activities that irritate us, bore us, and drain our energy. The problem is thinking that this is just a necessary part of life and business. In this book, I show you a simple process to shed those unwanted activities to not only free yourself up to concentrate on what fascinates and motivates you, but to strengthen your team as well.

Have you ever wondered why some people are super-achievers and seem to go from success to success while others never seem to get out of the starting blocks? In my 40 years of coaching high-achieving entrepreneurs, I’ve noticed that they all go through a process to help them break through to the next level of success. I call this process "The 4 C’s Formula". The 4 C’s Formula is a universal process that can be used by anyone who wants to achieve greater success in any part of their life.

In my Strategic Coach® workshops, I’ll draw a circle on the white board, and in the center, I’ll write, “Self-Managing Company”. I’ll say to the group, “You don’t know exactly what I’m going to say about this, but right off the bat, how many of you want one of these”? Every hand in the room goes up. Every ambitious entrepreneur in the world wants to have their own self-managing company. This 60-minute audiobook will provide you and your Unique Ability® Team with the eight crucial entrepreneurial mindsets necessary to make this.

Not all heroes wear capes. You might not think of yourself as a hero, but every time you create value for others, you're benefiting people and making life easier or better for them in some way. The question is, "Who do you want to be a hero to?" By identifying the key audience you want to create value for, you focus yourself on the most crucial people in your life, helping them to grow their capabilities - and growing your own as well.

Most entrepreneurs are fixated on their competition and on external conditions they can’t control. To them, cash flow is a constant source of worry. What they don’t realize is that their success isn’t actually about them at all. It’s about who they can create value for and what those people aspire to. Entrepreneurs who know exactly how they create value can cross over a line where cash flow becomes certain and the model they’ve created continually improves. Once you reach this point, you become totally confident that your cash flow will always be predictable.

Are you a Simplifier or a Multiplier? Every great entrepreneur is primarily one or the other, and identifying which you are adds deeper insight and meaning to the way you instinctively create value. Once you know who you are, you can find the perfect collaborator: your opposite. Simplier-Multiplier collaborations lead to unprecedented breakthroughs and results, and give you the freedom to focus exclusively on what you do best.

The most successful entrepreneurs are never satisfied with the status quo. They're always looking for opportunities to push beyond the boundaries of their industry and marketplace, into new territories where they can use their unique skills to create increasing value for their desired audience. Break free from competition, and, instead, collaborate with other 10x achievers to create totally "free zones" where no one else has yet ventured and growth is unlimited. This is the essence of entrepreneurism.

It happens to the best of us. You find yourself reacting emotionally to a situation or problem, and suddenly, you’re stuck. You don’t know how to move forward. You feel paralyzed and unable to think clearly, make decisions, or take action. You’re bothered. Find out why certain problems bother you while others don’t, what causes you to feel stuck, and the one question to ask yourself to immediately get unstuck and moving forward.

Most entrepreneurs spend their working lives competing, feeling fatigue, barely able to offer clients anything more than the industry standard. They deny their creativity and focus their time on making the most of scarce resources. “Free Zone” entrepreneurs don’t compete, they collaborate, creating and sharing “Intellectual Shortcuts” - ways to do things faster, easier, cheaper, and with bigger results. And by 2044, their combined revenue will grow to $15 trillion.

Growth is a fundamental human need. It is at the root of everything that gives us a feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction, meaning, and progress. Yet many people find their growth stalled at some point. In The Laws of Lifetime Growth, Dan Sullivan and Catherine Nomura offer 10 simple laws that everyone can use to keep a fresh, innovative perspective on their lives and the world around them.
