Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan unpack why Entrepreneurs stall when they treat growth as a transaction—and how commitment ("will that builds skill") creates transformational results. They cover lifelong learning, referability habits, and Dan's 100-books-in-100-quarters project as a model for creating the future through commitment.

Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode:

• Transactional vs. transformational: why "provisional" commitments stall growth
• Will ↔ Skill flywheel: commitment builds capability; capability strengthens commitment

• Handling dropouts: empathy without enabling; relationships over extraction
• Referability Habits: show up on time; do what you say; finish what you start; say please & thank you
• Recovery insight: rebuilding self-trust by keeping your own word
