Founder of 5 different 7+ Figure Businesses shares How to Solve Level 10 Problems with Serial Entrepreneur, WSJ Best-Selling Author & "The world’s most disciplined man", Craig Ballantyne

Ever feel like you’re grinding hard but not moving the needle on what truly matters?

In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, we’re resharing an epic Guest Guru training from our Happy Hustle Club featuring Craig Ballantyne — the “World’s Most Disciplined Man,” author of The Perfect Day Formula and the Wall Street Journal bestseller Unstoppable.

Craig’s built a reputation for helping high-performers cut through the noise, prioritize like a boss, and focus on what actually matters for long-term success and happiness. And in this conversation, he drops some serious wisdom on what he calls “Level 10 Problems” — those make-or-break issues in your life and business that demand your full attention and best effort.

Craig shares how most people unknowingly put “Level 10 Effort” into “Level 1 Problems” — spending massive amounts of energy on the wrong things while giving minimal effort to the big, critical challenges that could truly transform their lives. He breaks down how to spot these high-impact problems, why we often avoid them, and the practical, actionable steps to address them head-on. From business bottlenecks and tough conversations with underperforming team members to rekindling connection in a marriage that’s gone cold, Craig doesn’t just point out the problem — he gives you the roadmap to solve it.

Here are a few gold nuggets you’ll take away from this episode: tackle your most important problems first, even if they’re uncomfortable. Understand that discipline isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing the right things consistently. Build and protect your relationships, because they’re the foundation of both personal fulfillment and professional success. Make intentional time for the people and activities that matter most. And remember, avoiding the tough stuff only delays the growth and breakthroughs you’re capable of achieving.

This is one of those conversations that can flip a switch for you — where you start looking at your to-do list and your calendar differently, prioritizing with clarity, and putting your best energy where it counts. If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start solving your true Level 10 Problems, you won’t want to miss this one.
