Daniel Cleland, aka "The Indiana Jones of Entrepreneurship," is the CEO of Soltara Healing Center, guitarist in metal band Savage Existence, and author of "12 Laws of the Jungle: How to Become a Lethal Entrepreneur."

That is a combination of exercises to learn mental toughness, so even in times of difficulties, you’ll be able to handle it. Hold yourself accountable. 3. Be able to produce professional-level, high quality output in the pressure cooker for a sustained amount of time.
