The essence of business leadership, growth and value Twenty years ago I started my career in the corporate world. Ambitious, driven, but mostly naive and inexperienced about how business really works. I thought that hard work and good performance were enough. That expertise automatically led to recognition.

(And how you build real wealth, freedom and legacy) Revenue growth ≠ wealth. It's a persistent myth in entrepreneurial land. I talk to them weekly, the driven entrepreneurs who exhaust themselves for higher sales, but eventually get stuck in a cycle of more work, more stress, less freedom.
