What does it take to build not one, not two, but 29 successful businesses?

I just had one of the most mind-blowing conversations ever with Allan Draper, a serial entrepreneur from Phoenix, Arizona. His journey from a litigation attorney to owning 29 businesses ranging from home services and digital marketing to real estate investments, is nothing short of epic.

He's living proof (not to be confused with his pest control business) that the entrepreneurial spirit is a force to be reckoned with.

Allan is a storyteller who brings the world of entrepreneurship to life in his successful podcast, “The Business Growth Pod.” He’s got this uncanny ability to analyze and scale small businesses, transforming them into multimillion-dollar ventures.

"If you don't believe in your heart of hearts that you're worthy of it, you're not going to do what it takes to go get it."

In today's episode, Allan gets real with us. We dive deep into what it truly takes to build wealth and the kind of sacrifices that come with it. He's not just talking theory; he's lived every bit of this  expansive journey.
 
"Failure is such a strong word...we need to change our mentality about failure."

He sheds light on the often-misunderstood societal realm of entrepreneurship – it's not a one-size-fits-all journey, and certainly not the cakewalk social media often paints it to be. From the significance of a wealth-building mindset to embracing failures as critical learning curves, Allan's insights are both grounding and invigorating.

And then we get into the real juicy stuff – legacy and making a difference. Spoiler alert: We're all going to die.

Allan's not just about making money; he's passionate about helping others achieve financial freedom. It's about the long game, choosing the right sacrifices, understanding what's an asset and what's a liability.

So, if you're sitting there, dreaming of starting your own thing or scaling up what you've got, you need to hear this. It's a conversation that could change the way you think about business, wealth, and success.

Key Takeaways:
Entrepreneurship isn't just about chasing success; it's about recognizing your unique journey and battling societal norms.
Allan debunks the 'easy path' myth of entrepreneurship, stressing its challenges and the need for a solid mindset.
The real wealth-building journey intertwines personal growth with financial development.
Embracing failure is essential; it's a teacher more potent than any immediate win.
The episode also dives deep into legacy, mortality, and the pressing need to create something lasting.
