Real talk for real entrepreneurs.
I decided to relisten to this book because, let’s be honest, it feels like everything—economy, politics, and stock market—is a roller coaster right now. Darren’s wisdom is a powerful reminder that the emotional ups and downs of business are not only normal—they’re survivable.
Here are a few of my favorite takeaways:
Embrace the Ride: Fear and setbacks are part of the deal. Stay buckled in and keep going.
Mindset Matters: Confidence and resilience are your greatest assets.
Learn to Sell: Whether it’s your ideas, vision, or value—communication fuels growth.
Discipline Over Hustle: Habits will anchor you when chaos hits.
Curate Your Circle: Surround yourself with people who uplift and challenge you.
Don’t Take Rejection Personally: Every “no” brings you closer to a “yes.”
Focus on What You Control: Your actions, your energy, your mindset.
It’s not about avoiding the ride—it’s about learning to ride it well.
