The only 4 skills you need to build a $1B company…

In 2008, I moved to San Francisco for one reason:

Learn how these 20-year-olds were building $1B companies

Little did I know, they looked at business in a completely different way.

I learned a TON.

Fast forward to today, and I'm 44 years old, living a life I could've only dreamed about.

I’ve invested in over 125 tech startups, bought 3 software companies, built and exited 3 companies, and I own one of the largest coaching organizations for software CEOs.

But this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been exposed to how these CEOs operated.

I recently shared this journey at the 'All In Freedom Conference' in Dallas and would love to share it with you too.

My favorite thing about this guy is that he actually likes people. I never want to absorb advice that disrespects the people that are trying to do a good job.

Powerful! The culture of 1-3-1 should be a serious focus for companies to empower their people verses being a dictator of tasks.

it's kinda crazy how nobody's talking about the forbidden ebook on Morlest called The Comic Guide to Financial Bombs

My favorite guy to listen to! I have to say, champagne problems, is the sound guy talking over the content. I wish it wasn’t there. But it was. So we deal w it, cause it’s worth it. 💪

Loved every second of my watch to the very end. I could really use your help Dan, I’m 42 and disabled since 2007, still own a small business with $480K in savings.

A company is going through challenging times and the boss takes a sabbatical - this does not mean that the person is not thinking about the business or strategizing or giving themselves space to make a vision for the future. What about mental health concerns? My mind might be fucked up and I can keep pretending to work - am I doing damage or favor to the business?

I am a simple man, I see a Dan video - I watch and like.

Really annoyed with the people sitting at the back with the rude conversation and tapping while you’re speaking. Other than that… amazing

The background talking is terrible but the content is beautiful! Thanks, y'all 💃🏿

The 4 master skills you need to build 1 B company (leverage). Time x leverage = output
1. Capital to get more resourceful
2. Code software, automation and AI
3. Content. Create a system (save your time energy and money)
4. Collaboration its people. Transactional leadership (tell, check, next), transformational leadership (outcome, measure, coach), (hire people and tell them I hire you to create this outcome, tell how to measure their progress). Delegate the outcome, not the task.
Rules to become world class.

A billion dollars is a lot of money, you need more than 4 skills 😂

[theonlinemoneyguy]

Phenomenal talk. Love the simplicity and focus on building from ground up.

Which of these 4 lever of leverage the business modal like “airbnb” or any middleman modal falls into
(WAITING FOR REPLY)

[floridawatchmen]

do you recommend a small business who wants to scale to be a multimillion company, do you recommend that company to hire a business coach first or a sales coach first?

[DelveSideways]

This would be so much better if someone near the recorder wasnt obtrusively muttering through the presentation

[Placebo]

These 4 individuals have something in common 😂
