When purpose-driven entrepreneurs grow tired of spinning their wheels seemingly getting further away from things that actually matter to them, they call Dan for help. Dan is a lifelong entrepreneur, relentlessly curious, and hopelessly sarcastic. He’s had the privilege of completing a prestigious fellowship and worked for some of the largest and most successful companies in the world. 10 years ago he gave all of that up – mostly because he was tired of having meetings about meetings to eventually talk about what to actually do. Instead, he spends his time developing tools and helping private clients and partners answer the one question all successful business owners are asking themselves “Am I going to be okay?” through his financial certainty methodologies. Financial Certainty is an unconventional way of looking at business growth. Instead of focusing on acquiring more, the focus is getting closer to the things that actually matter to the business owner/entrepreneur. The first step to eliminating entrepreneurial anxiety is decreasing the uncertainty around reaching your goals and Dan has developed a set of proprietary algorithms to systematically decrease uncertainty and increase the power entrepreneurs have over their desired outcomes.

In this episode, Mike talks about how he sets goals effectively for himself, the business, and his clients, as well as how to reverse engineer these goals into measurable action plans.
