Show Notes:

Running for elected office is a purely entrepreneurial activity.

We’re not in control of what happens in the world, but we’re in control of our responses to what happens.

Entrepreneurs transform situations from huge negatives to breakthrough positives.

Strategic Coach is a thinking tool culture.

If you have an anchor client, then you don’t have to fear that you need to say yes to everything.

The entire business of an entrepreneur can be based on the entrepreneur’s reputation.

Good people do bad things, and it doesn’t mean they’re bad people.

If you want to handle your challenges thoughtfully, and you want to have strong relationships, you need to train and practice to be thoughtfully fit.

Having an entrepreneurial business means you get to test things.
