Being an “Industry Transformer” means being in the best of all entrepreneurial worlds today — it results from harnessing one’s passion and creativity to break traditional boundaries and create a life of incredible freedom and fulfillment.

Recently, Dan Sullivan interviewed nine extraordinary entrepreneurs who have created such innovative and valuable businesses that they are transforming their industries or creating new ones. Their passion and excitement is infectious, educational, and inspiring. In these times when so many people are focused on disturbing events in the global economy, we offer you a glimpse of a kind of entrepreneurial experience that is both liberating and immensely rewarding. This experience is available to any entrepreneur who brings together eight crucial yet accessible ingredients.

No matter what is going on in your world, this will certainly help you set your sights on a bigger future.

The following is an excerpt from the upcoming book, Industry Transformers, by Dan Sullivan:

Lately, it has occurred to me that I live a charmed life because of the many successful entrepreneurs I know. Every day, I am in the presence of individuals whose lives and work combine extraordinary integrity, optimism, imagination, creativity, commitment, and value creation. The experience makes me happy to be alive. When I think of the nine entrepreneurs featured in this book, I always see them as having futures that are much bigger than their pasts. As successful and useful as they already are, the best part of their lives lies ahead. Each of them thrives on change, challenge, possibility, and opportunity. Each of them is passionate about making the world a better place than he or she found it. All of them measure their personal progress in terms of how much they contribute. They measure their professional success in terms of how much they have transformed the lives and conditions of other people. Being surrounded by these outstanding entrepreneurs, then, makes it much easier for me to aspire to the same qualities and results in my own life and business.

Making life more successful and enjoyable for others.

John Ferrell, when I asked him what motivates him, said, “I love entrepreneurs. I love the way they think, the way they create, and the way they are willing to risk their money, their security, and their reputations to create something new, better, and more useful in the world. I just want to use my legal skills in the best possible way to help them protect what they create, and to make it possible for them to be richly rewarded for their innovations.”

John’s comments are typical of the spirit that motivates all of the Industry Transformers in this book, and the many others who are in Strategic Coach®. They all want to make life more successful, enjoyable, meaningful, and rewarding for other people.

Don Munce is equally passionate when he talks about linking up millions of graduating high school students with the colleges and universities that will be best for them. Richard Rossi is passionate when he describes how his company enables the best and brightest grade school, high school, and college students from around the world to get in touch with their best abilities and opportunities.

Because I spend hours conversing with these Industry Transformers, it makes it very easy to be optimistic about my own future. It is also easy to be optimistic about the futures of many other people. As a result of the work that all of these individuals are doing, and because of the significant impact that their Unique Processes™ are having, the world is becoming a better place to live and work in for millions of other people. And in the case of each of these Industry Transformers, he or she considers what has been accomplished so far as a very small beginning.
