Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

The world's foremost entrepreneurial coach shows you how to make a mindset shift that opens the door to explosive growth and limitless possibility - in your business and your 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.

As he did in Who Not How, Dr. Benjamin Hardy shares one of Dan Sullivan's simple yet profound teachings that until now has been known only to his Strategic Coach clients: unsuccessful people focus on "The Gap", but successful people focus on "The Gain".

In this four-episode mini-series, authors of the book The Gap And The Gain, Dan Sullivan and Ben Hardy, explain how to shift your mindset to one of positivity and abundance in order to stay happy and motivated.

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.

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.

“WhoNotHow” is Dan Sullivan’s single formula for achieving bigger goals through accelerated teamwork. In this series, Dan and Dr. Ben Hardy discuss the details.

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.

Growth is a fundamental human need, a desire that stems from a deep love of life and an urge to experience it fully. It gives us a feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction, meaning, and progress. Here, Dan Sullivan and Catherine Nomura offer 10 simple laws that will help you continue to grow throughout your life. By living according to these laws you will ensure that you maintain a fresh, innovative perspective on the world around you.

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.

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.

Most people’s notion about how long they’re going to live is an oppressive thought. They feel confined by a certain number of years, an age expectation based on family history and averages. But what if you could extend your lifetime? How would adding extra years impact the way you live now? Dan Sullivan's goal of living to 156 may sound outrageous at the outset. But you’ll soon find that the imagination can have a huge impact on your behavior, and a simple mindset shift can literally change every thought you think.

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.

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.

In February 2009, Dan Maccarone, a digital product design executive who works with some of the world’s top brands, walked through the doors of what would be his new bar, Destination, in Manhattan’s East Village. The overwhelming stale-beer smell, ruined floor, and “Happy New Year 2008” banners that hung from the walls were the least of his worries. He had just six weeks and a budget of $150,000 to turn the place into the neighborhood’s new favorite hang-out - and start turning a profit.

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.

Most people’s thinking ability is limited. But there’s a dimension of thinking called Thinking About Your Thinking where you step back and observe your own mind. It’s a subtle mental shift that creates a massive change in perception and possibilities — a shift that Dan Sullivan discovered early in life, which went on to become the basis for every concept and tool in The Strategic Coach® Program.

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.
