On today’s bonus episode, we’re taking you back to San Diego, California, where EntreLeadership Summit is underway. Have you ever heard of a natural-born leader? Well, we hate to break it to you, but there’s no such thing. Tune in as Dave Ramsey explains why leaders are built, not born, and what it takes to become an amazing one.

Whether we like it or not—and sometimes, in spite of our best intentions and best efforts—failure is unavoidable. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, says filmmaker Jon Erwin, whose production company makes faith-based, inspirational feature films. In fact, he insists if you examine failure closely—think an uncomfortable, really honest look—you may very well find the keys to your next big success. Tune in as Jon shares how doing just that helped him learn from a crushing box office loss in 2015 to go on to make the highest-grossing independent film of 2018.

News flash: When it comes to running a business, you can’t do it all. Sure, you can survive 90-hour work weeks for a season, but ultimately if you’re interested in building a business bigger than you, you’re going to have to delegate. And it’s not as simple as telling someone else to do something for you and hoping for the best. Tune in to hear Dave Ramsey explain the 10 basics of delegation, the same ones that helped him build his business from scratch and develop it into an international brand with more than 800 team members. Also joining us are Ramsey Solutions’ own Daniel Tardy and Sarah Sloyan who share why—and how—to develop new leaders within your organization. And finally, StoryBrand CEO Donald Miller weighs in on the undeniable value those leaders add to your bottom line. If you’re feeling even the least bit overwhelmed, don’t miss this powerful episode.   entreleadership.com/podcast Want more content like Dave's lesson on delegation?

Core values can be tricky. So many companies are quick to say they have them, but if you ask best-selling author and StoryBrand CEO Donald Miller, too few actually mean much of anything.

Tune in to hear Donald explain exactly how to get your core values right so they inspire and motivate your team, not create mass confusion.   entreleadership.com/podcast Donald Miller's website Ken Blanchard on A Leadership Vision for America Free download: How to Create Core Values 9 Questions to Ask When Interviewing an Executive Assistant from Belay Solutions   Want expert help with your business question?

If you tend to blame yourself for your bad habits, New York Times best-selling author James Clear says you’re wasting your time.
