Growing up in a dysfunctional environment with an alcoholic mother, ADHD, drug abuse, foster care, and prison, best-selling author of Buy Back Your Time, Dan Martell, has an incredible and inspirational story not to be missed.  Despite feeling broken, Dan’s life took a positive turn when a prison guard named Brian expressed belief in him…  “I don’t know what you’re doing here, man; you don’t belong here,” Brian said. This sparked a tiny seed of self-worth and eventually led Dan to a rehab center called Portage, where he rebuilt relationships, overcame addiction, and built and sold several multi-million dollar software companies. Be The Best Version of Yourself and Share Your Stories With the World Dan’s own story includes failures and setbacks but also mentors who provided guidance and support. It hasn’t been all success every step of the way. Dan started several businesses, faced several failures, and licked his wounds before achieving success.  In Podcast Episode 414, Dan shares… His approach to time management and focusing on essential business tasks.  The importance of embracing vulnerability and leveraging our stories to serve others.  How delegation plays a crucial role in freeing up time and achieving success.  The 10-80-10 rule, where you provide initial creative input (10%), delegate the bulk of the work (80%), and add final touches (10%) How you can produce exceptional results in business when you utilize the skills of others and focus on your strengths. How he uses the principles he writes about in his book to create more space for travel and adventure with his family. And so much more!
