About this Episode

Even though being an entrepreneur can be incredibly rewarding, it also comes with its challenges. While these hurdles can feel impossible to overcome, there are always ways to tackle them. In today’s episode, host Blake Chapman breaks down the lessons he learned from David Goggins’s book Can’t Hurt Me and how they relate to becoming a better entrepreneur.

To overcome hardships and thrive as an entrepreneur, Blake explains that it is important to be obsessed, focus on your own success, and surround yourself with people who motivate you to improve. Instead of fearing a challenge, seek them out because then you will be better equipped to handle anything.

Tune into this week’s episode to learn more about the difference between motivation and obsession, the importance of incremental growth, and how to be a better leader, so you can strengthen your mindset and defeat obstacles with ease.
