I’ve been blessed to have been in the back room with a number of “celebrity entrepreneurs” at events.⠀
⠀
Here’s my takeaways looking back:⠀
⠀
1️⃣ Whatever leader / guru / celebrity you follow – learn from them – but don’t compare your results to theirs. It can be hard to sift the truth from the show sometimes.⠀
⠀
In fact, you may not want their results at all once you see it up close 😬.⠀
⠀
2️⃣ On the other hand, some of these entrepreneurs are the most genuine, engaging, and interested people I’ve met. The effect they were able to have on people by engaging 1:1 was incredible and lasting. No doubt it contributed to their success.⠀
⠀
3️⃣ There’s always something you can learn from ANYONE – even if they’re nowhere near the same path or results as you. ⠀
⠀
Keep your eyes & ears open. You never know what nugget you’ll discover to take back to your tree :).⠀

Donald Miller is one of my favorite & most influential authors…⠀
⠀
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years is one of my top 3 books EVER…⠀
⠀
It helped me discover what makes a good story, how to approach uncertainty & adventure, who I want to be as a husband, and what kind of dad I want to be for my boys.⠀
⠀
A must read for any entrepreneur!⠀
⠀
…and all that was BEFORE he ever created @storybrand_ and wrote Building A Story Brand. So yea, huge influence on my personally & professionally.⠀
⠀
Read his stuff. Then grown your thing.⠀

Throw back to LA last year – touring breweries with the team after a conference.⠀
⠀
Building teams & scalable businesses is great and all, but what’s the point if you don’t love who you’re working with?!?!⠀
