This episode celebrates the Tycoons of Small Biz’s 100th episode with special guest, Greg McKeown. Greg opens up about his personal journey in the Disciplined Pursuit of Less and what we can all do to create space to explore what is essential to grow. Greg describes himself as “an entrepreneur with a pen in his hand” and has made it his professional mission to help other entrepreneurs be successful at being successful by practicing essentialism.
This was a great episode for Tycoons of Small Business as Greg pays tribute to the American culture of entrepreneurship and small businesses as the backbone to the American economy. Through his work, he identified a cycle of “undisciplined pursuit of more” that businesses often find themselves in which is a recipe for failure. Greg stresses the importance of being both entrepreneurial and built to last, which includes the pursuit of learning and innovating and course correction as a daily practice.
You don’t want to miss out on the guidelines that Greg outlines to identify what is important or not and how that space we create helps to break through a plateau. Lastly, remember to be thankful because if you focus on what you have, you’ll gain what you lack.
