BTI #230: Escape the Dark Side of Entrepreneurship with Dave Ruel

Beyond the Image Podcast

“There’s a big problem, in my opinion, in the entrepreneurial world called ambition appropriation. The toxic culture of looking up what others do and thinking that this is what you should be doing as well. We never ask ourselves, “Is this what I really want for myself?’ “

Recently, I had the chance to read Done By Noon by Dave Ruel, and it was like Dave was spying on me while he wrote it. I walked through the dark side of entrepreneurship – feeling like I just had to work harder and work more and that the secret behind success was behind that extra effort. I found that wasn’t true at all. Instead, I had to shift my priorities.

On this episode, I’m so excited to have Dave Ruel on the show. Dave talks about how his book was born from his own experience as an entrepreneur, the mistakes he made along the way, and how he was able to find similar mistakes in other entrepreneurs that we could all learn from.

“We all go into business as entrepreneurs for one thing, and it’s for freedom.”
