As investors, entrepreneurs, or leaders of our businesses, we need to be at our best to achieve our goals and reach success. Transforming our lives, elevating our performance, and creating the best version of ourselves can help us overcome challenges and make the most of opportunities. We can improve decision-making, increase productivity, have better relationships, and enhance our overall well-being and growth. In short, we become more successful, happier, and fulfilled individuals. But how can we do all this?
We are fortunate today to have the world’s leading expert on the psychology of entrepreneurial leadership and exponential growth, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, to help us process and think about these ideas through an in-depth discussion of his books. We delve into the concept behind Dr. Hardy's bestselling book "Who Not How" and how investors and entrepreneurs can make it work to their advantage. Dr. Hardy also shares insights from his book "The Gap and The Gain" and explains why successful people focus on the gain, while unsuccessful people focus on the gap. We also discuss key points in his latest book "Be Your Future Self Now" and why imagining the person we want to be and then "being" that person now is the key to self-transformation. Finally, Dr. Hardy also shares the fascinating story of how he became immersed in his chosen field of psychology and the key relationships that have played crucial roles in his journey. Get ready to be inspired and motivated to reach your full potential!
