The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster: Why NOW is the Time to #JoinTheRide

66 percent of small businesses fail—and it’s not for the reasons you think.
Darren set out on a mission to figure out why and to turn this statistic around.
His discovery was startling and contrary to most assumptions.

Failure was not due to outside factors—they were internal. They weren’t economic—they were emotional. The unexpected and terrifying emotional roller coaster an entrepreneur experiences is the greatest factor in why most quit and ultimately fail.

Learn how to find what matters (really), what your (true) passion is, what your unique strengths are, and how to ignite your superhuman motivation to make yourself emotionally bulletproof as you take the wild ride through entrepreneurship.

? Learn how to recruit, keep, and get maximum performance out of A-level players.
Learn the four essential qualities of a 21st-century leader.
? Learn how to discover and monitor your Success Vitals–your vital functions, vital priorities, vital metrics, and vital improvements.
? Learn the six brain hacks to conquer fear forever so you can
enjoy the terrifyingly thrilling entrepreneur ride.

Outcome:
This keynote is designed to prepare your people for the wild ride of entrepreneurship. It will warn you (of forthcoming fears, doubts, and the self-defeating conditioning of your upbringing and past), inoculate you (from the naysayers, dream-stealers, and pains of rejection and failure), and guide you (as you build those under-developed skills of independence, self-motivation, and self-accountability) safely past the landmines that blow up and cause the failure of most new business owners.
