New Episode: Darren Hardy: The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster

66% of small businesses fail, and it’s not for the reasons you think. So why do they fail? That is what Darren Hardy set out on a mission to discover in The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster.

What he found was startling. All the previously reported reasons and assumptions for the failure rate (capital, location, credit, inventory management, and competition) were wrong.

Failure was not due to outside factors--they were internal. They weren't economic--they were emotional. The unexpected and terrifying emotional roller coaster an entrepreneur experiences is the greatest factor in why most quit and ultimately fail.

Hello members and subscribers! It’s time for our seventh Moonshots Master episode, and we are tackling a huge topic: ENTREPRENEURSHIP

To get us started we hear from some of the most well-known and highly regarded entrepreneurs and authors out there. Darren Hardy kicks us off with a breakdown of what it means to be an ‘Exception’ and how it takes guts to succeed. We then hear Steve Jobs’ entrepreneur story and how he battled against settling for less. Continuing our journey into inspiration Warren Buffet motivates us by stating how he ‘tap dances to work’.

Now we are inspired. It's time to learn the hard truths about being an entrepreneur, and who better to share wisdom than Elon Musk who had to contend with criticism from his heroes. Helping us understand the value of starting on day one with a single-minded framework we hear from Michael E Gerber who prepares us for scale with the story of Ray Kroc and McDonald’s. Helping us analyze and understand why some businesses fail and others don’t, we learn from Bill T. Gross and his study into the reason for success being timing and teams.

To help us grab the opportunities and learn from the documented mistakes made by others, we hear from three entrepreneurial authors. First up we hear from Moonshots royalty Simon Sinek who says to start with WHY to inspire action. Next, we hear from Tim Ferriss who gives us 5 tips for starting a kick-ass business. Closing out the show we have some very practical tips from Eric Ries on how to utilize a lean methodology to define - and release - a Minimum Viable Product.
