In this powerful conversation, Dave Ramsey shares the emotional scars from his early business struggles that transformed into 35 years of success. From the trenches of entrepreneurial battle, Dave reveals at Ramsey Solutions headquarters how the hardest work you'll ever do is during a business's earliest days, when you're doing everything yourself and feeling like you're on an endless treadmill. With refreshing vulnerability, he recounts how his wife's intuition has repeatedly saved him from disastrous business decisions, and explains why building a company culture where negativity isn't tolerated creates an environment that accomplishes the work of four times as many people. Whether you're launching your first business or aiming to leave a legacy, Dave's practical wisdom offers a roadmap for entrepreneurs who want to build something meaningful without sacrificing their soul in the process.
