Our guest, Daniel Battan is the founder of "Beyond The Ceiling." Daniel saw that the problem existent within many entrepreneurs was that they saw a "ceiling" for themselves - or in other words, a limited potential that could be reached. However, the "ceiling" is NOT the ultimate potential one can reach. There is ALWAYS more (think: "the sky"). Beyond The Ceiling is about stepping outside and realising that there is no ceiling in your capabilities. It is unlimited! Daniel brings a very grounded approach that can be used by entrepreneurs.
