In This Interview I Ask:

• 4:20 - Let's talk about distinguishing between entrepreneurs and people who are just getting in business because they have an idea.
• 14:20 - If you go into a small business and they're breaking even running their little shop, where do you start with them?
• 14:45 - What is the difference between a personal dream and an impersonal dream?
• 15:20 - Have you read Atlas Shrugged? Her philosophy seems to be that we are intrinsically motivated by selfish desire. What are your thoughts on that and how does that apply to this system for entrepreneurs?
• 18:50 - What about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? If somebody is at breakeven or they're at the point where cash flow is an issue for them, then it seems challenging for them to go into a dream room to think about what they want to create for the world when they need to be taking care of themselves.
• 29:25 - Any last thoughts?
