New Episode: Michael E Gerber: The E-Myth

New Episode: Michael E Gerber: The E-Myth

What is the E-Myth? It is the myth that if you are good at doing “something,” you can turn that “something” into a profitable business. But, being good at something is.not.enough.

The E-Myth Revisited explains why 80% of small businesses fail, and how to ensure yours isn't among those by building a company that's based on systems and not on the work of a single individual.

Michael Gerber advocates doing a lot of thinking on the front end to prevent you from maneuvering yourself into a situation you can’t get out of.

New Episode: Darren Hardy: The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster

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.

New Episode: Michael Pollan: In Defense of Food

New Episode:  Michael Pollan: In Defense of Food

Food. We all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it?

Michael Pollan's premise In Defense of Food is a simple seven-word summary; 'Eat food, not a lot, mostly plants.' The rise of nutritionism and industrialization means the Western diet has changed for the worse. We're suffering from over-nutrition, so we need to stand up for "real food," and reclaim good health and natural ingredients.

Michael Pollan explores the age of nutritionism and asks how we went from eating food to consuming nutrients, and why this is a problem. Then it looks at why a typical Western diet has damaged our health and made us more overweight than ever before. And finally, it provides basic food rules on eating better, and with more enjoyment.

Habits: How To Create Good Daily Habits

Hello members and subscribers! It’s time for our fourth Moonshots Master episode, and here we are breaking down the fundamentals of HABITS.

Beginning our journey we hear from the powerhouse of habits, Charles Duhigg, and get inspired to master our own behaviours. We then hear from the GOAT himself, Tom Brady, and how he continues to be at the top of his game through habitual design. We’ll also hear from Tim Ferriss and his findings through a lifetime of researching the perfect way to start your morning.

Fully inspired, let’s get into understanding habitual thinking with Daniel Kahneman, who encourages us to control our fast and slow thinking. Stephen Covey - the absolute master of habits - helps us understand to cultivate self-mastery. Finally, James Clear reveals an experiment that teaches us to celebrate the process and systems of progress, rather than the end-goal.

Closing our deep-dive into habits, we hear from Charles Duhigg on how we can create habits by altering our behaviour. We also dig into Robin Sharma’s three phases of building habits. And closing out the show we hear from Stephen Covey again, who reveals that the trick to building good habits is to focus on continuous improvements, every single day.
