About this episode

Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan discuss the importance of commitment in achieving transformational growth for entrepreneurs.

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.
