What truly drives entrepreneurs beyond profits? Jeffrey Madoff and Dan Sullivan explore the deep connection between personal identity, core values, and business success. Discover how authenticity, risk-taking, and integrity shape entrepreneurial journeys, and why staying true to your values can lead to lasting impact.

Show Notes:

Your business often reflects who you strive to become in life.

Choosing entrepreneurship narrows your business possibilities but gives you control over your direction.

Dan Sullivan was coaching entrepreneurs before the term “business coach” even existed.

In the past, entrepreneurs could only scale by becoming corporations. The personal computer changed that, allowing entrepreneurs to grow while maintaining ownership and vision.

If you want to be in control of your own life, you need to be an entrepreneur.

Great coaching is about focusing on the aspirations of the person you’re helping, not on yourself.

Having enough money means you don’t have to compromise your values for a paycheck.

Financial debt can be overcome; moral debt is much harder to escape.
