I know this might offend you, but you’re not actually working hard.

Even if you’re putting in 14 hour days, 7 days a week like I was building my first company.

That’s not hard work.

That’s just work.

Well… it’s not doing the thing you already know how to do.

TRUE hard work is what allowed me to go from a broke 17- year- old to a multi- millionaire today.

Strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times.

We’re in that cycle right now, and it’s a problem.

Look, there’s a lot of bad advice out there for men on the internet.

And it frustrates me because as a father of two boys and someone who runs the largest youth program for young men in my city…

I’ve seen the results of every kid being one caring adult away from becoming a success story.

And I was that kid.

These aren’t the “feel-good” or “easy” lessons you’ll typically see online.

Growing up in a small town in Eastern Canada, my life was full of challenges and uncertainty. 

For a long time in my teenage years, I was staying busy and getting in trouble.

I had issues with drugs and crime, and eventually, I ended up in rehab.

One day, I started asking myself: 

"Why not me?" 

“Why can't I overcome my addiction?” 

"Why can't I be top in my class?” 

“Why can't I have a great relationship with my parents?”

Then I discovered there were three billionaires from my province, people who probably had even fewer resources than I did. 

If they could do it, why not me? 

This one question sparked a shift in my mindset and set me on the path to success.

In this episode, I share my journey from those challenging days to becoming a successful entrepreneur and reveal the key strategies that reprogrammed my mind and changed my life.

Since the age of 17, I’ve only done one thing: building businesses.

Fast forward 27 years, and I’m the founder of Martell Ventures, a portfolio of companies generating over $100M in revenue.

Every week, I get thousands of DMs from business owners seeking advice, and I see the same stuff come up often.

So, I’ve decided to share all my best business knowledge in today’s video.

This video is packed with insights and strategies to help you start, grow, and eventually sell your business, all while maintaining your sanity.

I’ve distilled 27 years of business experience into this short video, covering:

1. The worst mistake most people make when starting their first business
2. The best advice I got from Steve Jobs on how to choose the right industry
3. The #1 skill that you need to work on to start a successful business
4. The biggest lever you can pull to grow your business (even if you’re just in the early days)
5. The exact process I use to sell a business I bet it wouldn’t have taken me 27 years to achieve what I’ve achieved if I’d watched this video in my 20s.

27 minutes to save you a few years?

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Here’s why I fell in love with the SaaS business model…

You build the software once.

And get paid every month. Recurring revenue.

If I lost all my money, followers, and network today, I'd still know exactly how to build a SaaS company from scratch.

Building a SaaS business might seem daunting, especially if you're just starting out.

A lot of people think they need to raise capital, hire a very expensive development team, and spend years in the red before their product takes off.

But the key?

Start with the problem, validate your solution, and then build and refine your product. You don’t need a huge team or a ton of money…

Just a solid plan and the right approach.

My 7-step guide is your map, and it includes:

• How to pinpoint the exact problem your SaaS should solve
• The secret to building a prototype without wasting time or money
• 4 steps for creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) quickly

“Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn”

I learned this from John Maxwell back in 2015.

Everything that happens is a blessing or a lesson.

You’re being guided to your higher self if you learn.

Otherwise, you’ll repeat the same mistakes.

When my first company failed, I was devastated.

But looking back, it was a lesson, not a setback.

Setbacks are valuable learning experiences.

It taught me to play big and to see every challenge as a stepping stone to success.

Success isn’t about avoiding failure; it’s about learning from it.

This is one of the 21 Principles of the top 0.01% that have shaped my journey.

I dive deep into these principles and how they can transform your life too.

The other day I was hiking with my kids.

And we were struggling to reach the top of a steep trail.

They kept looking up.

“Look how far we have to go.”

I told them to look back at how far we came.

That simple shift in perspective made all the difference.

It's not just about the destination…

It’s about enjoying the journey.

And I want to show you the 23 perspectives to find true meaning in life.

These gave me the perspective I needed to wake up every day invigorated and excited for life.

As entrepreneurs, we get so caught up with our goals and obsessed with where we’re going…

 We forget to zoom out and see how far we’ve come.

This steals happiness.

I often tell my private clients: “Once upon a time, you DREAMED about having the problems you have today.”

A lot of people think, "Well, I gotta get to this NEXT GOAL, then I’ll be happy."

The funny part is…

In my experience, you’ve got to get your perspective right and be happy FIRST.

Then you’ll find purpose.

It’s going to stretch you…

And make you question what you’re doing with your time, where your life’s going, and who you’re spending it with.

GOOD!

On the other side is happiness, fulfillment, motivation, purpose, and momentum like you’ve never had before.

I’m 44 years old and I’ve collected 44 cheat codes I wish I knew at 24.

I want you to have them so it doesn’t take you as long to figure out.

When I started my entrepreneurial journey at 17, I looked at people miles ahead of me and felt like I’d never be able to get there.

Even after I sold my first company and became a millionaire, I was comparing again.

Most people fall into this trap.

Thinking you should be further along.

Questioning why you haven’t done it yet if they did it.

But we often overlook the years of hard work, failures, and cheat codes they collected over their life.

The truth is…

Everyone you admire started at the beginning.

They’ve probably just been using a few of these cheat codes longer than you.

And I would have been here faster if I learned these when I was 24.

So stop comparing, grab the cheat codes, and embed them in your life.

24 months ago I had one of the craziest periods of business.

Several things happened and I just freaked out.

Out of frustration, I decided to go on Slack and I wrote out a chat post.

Probably should have slept on it right?

Nope.

In that moment, I essentially told the whole company: “This is my vision, this is what we're doing, we're making it about the customers.

And if you're not on board, I will pay you $15,000 To quit immediately.”

I hit post. But here's the problem…

Some of the people we wanted on the team took my offer! Why?

Because they were just fed up with the drama. You see, I woke up one day, and I realized that I didn't enjoy going to work and I had a culture problem.

I didn't even want to go to meetings.

And I started figuring out there were some people on the team that shouldn't have been there.

Here’s the deal C players will cost you your A players.

This lasted for about six months.

And it put me into a tailspin.

I was sad and I'm not a sad person.

I was having anxiety problems.

I was a little depressed.

And I'm on vacation in Costa Rica with the family and I was on my phone pacing on the patio pacing up and down the pool area.

So after losing more than 30% of my team I finally called my business partner, Matt.

He and I own a venture capital firm called High Speed Ventures.

I asked him if he’d come over to SaaS Academy for the next six months and maybe help me fix this.

His response: “I was wondering how long you were going to wait before you asked me that.”

What I learned over the next four months is what I want to share with you today because it allowed us to build the company to almost $20+ million in the next 12 months.

And we built one of the highest culture NPS scores we've ever achieved.

These are the 3 things that changed everything for me.

Back in 2009, we had a major issue that we had to solve in the business.

And when I asked my business partner, Ethan, to meet me in the office, he said he couldn't...

Now, we’d just raised a million dollars from some of the top investors in San Francisco, we're building up the team, and we ran into an issue with our product.

So I asked him "Why can't you meet?"

And he was like, "Hey man, I've got to get some laundry done."

I'm like “Okay I know it's Sunday, but you can do your laundry on any other day.”

He said “Yeah but I got a plan, and if I don't do it…” da da da da.

So I told him “There are literally three different laundromats on your way to work that do wash and fold.

They'll do it for like $35.”

He’s like “Yeah, man I'm not really paying myself enough. I'm barely making rent.”

Here's a situation where we just raised a million dollars to build the business…

And he can't come work on the business because he's too busy doing LAUNDRY.

Crazy, isn’t it?

He’d rather trade his time for a few extra bucks than trade a few bucks for extra time.

Most founders start like this. I did too.

But the wealthy spend money to save time.

Once I've got that time, I invest it in acquiring new skills that allow me to become more valuable.

Then I get to make more money to buy time to invest in more skills.

That is the way it works.

This is just ONE way the rich think differently about money.

And if you want to be truly wealthy…

There’s a whole bunch more you need to know.

That’s why in today’s video, I’m sharing the 14 rules of money that made me so rich I questioned the meaning of money.

I was recently talking to John Maxwell, the most popular leadership expert in the world.

He's written over 90 books…

And is still writing.

It turns out, he’s been doing leadership training for 52 years.

That blew my mind.

When I told him I couldn't wrap my mind around that, his reply was:

“Dan, I've just been doing one thing for 52 years. I'm 73. It's not that impressive.”

Then he asked me a question:

“Can you wake up every day for a thousand days, call it three years, every day, and do the work?”

The work is keeping the commitments you make to yourself.

That could be working on your body…

Working on your self-esteem...

Your spirituality…

Your mind...

The skill sets that make you more valuable.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

Consistency compounds.

That is the true secret to success.

I’ve spent over $1.5 million on business gurus.

Here’s how I chose to invest my money.

With an avalanche of advice out there, it’s easy to drown in information.

Should you buy a book…

Take a course…

Join a mastermind…

Pay for private coaching?

You have to ask yourself:

How do I invest in something that sequences success and moves the needle forward TODAY?

Because the last thing you want is all this fluff you can’t use.

Have you ever felt like you were meant for something greater, but couldn't quite put your finger on it?

I have.

The version of Dan you see today isn’t the same person when I was starting out at 17 years old.

I had to grow my beliefs to become the person that I was created to be.

I grew up my whole life believing I was a failure.

“You can’t build a business”

“You can’t break free from addiction”

“You can’t learn to program computers”

“You’re not special”

I didn’t believe I could be one of the “successful people”.

But others did.

They saw the way I showed up.

My passion.

And they encouraged me again and again.

If you told young Dan that I’d build 5 companies, become a millionaire in my 20s, and live the life I do today…

He wouldn’t believe it.

So wherever you’re starting from, I want you to know this…

You can change your life too.

It's possible. And I believe in you.

Even if you don’t believe in yourself right now.

In this week’s episode, I’m going to share the most powerful lessons I’ve learned that will help you to transform your life.

How do you fast-track your way to riches?

It's not working harder.

Not even working longer.

It's working smarter and improving your skill set.

That's my biggest takeaway from sitting down with Andy Elliott.

To create a life worth living, you have to first look in the mirror and ask yourself:

"Is this the best it gets?"

I'm serious.

Look at all the areas of your life.

Are you achieving your full potential?

I call it being full-spectrum.

Doesn’t investing often just feel like a gamble?

You put your hard-earned money into something.

Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it doesn’t.

But the second your money leaves your account…

You have NO control.

You just receive what the market gives you.

And the biggest mistake I see a lot of entrepreneurs fall into is they are always chasing after the next big thing.

Fuelled by speculation and emotion.

Only to end up with a portfolio that's as stable as a house of cards.

That’s why Ray Dalio describes most people’s investment strategies like this:

“The person who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass”

At 17, I found myself in a dark place.

Angry, depressed, and convinced there was something fundamentally wrong with me.

My life was a far cry from where I stand today.

Fast forward through years of relentless effort, and I've had the honor of speaking alongside Tony Robbins, building a $100M company, authoring a best-selling book, and flying around on my jet.

But this transformation didn't happen overnight.

I realised early on that if I wanted a different life…

I needed to start with my mindset.

The transformation from a troubled teenager to the person I am today was no accident.

It was a meticulous process of "brainwashing" myself into success.

Sounds tense?

Back in 2008, I had the opportunity to buy 10 defunct homes in Detroit thinking it was my golden ticket.

Only to wake up a year later to a nightmare of condemned properties.

When I was in my mid-20s, I would stay up till two or three in the morning writing code and then sleep until my first meeting.

My whole day would just get ahead of me and I could never get caught up.

I always felt behind on everything I did.

Then I picked up some new habits and I realised as I read more books…

Every book talked about the power of the morning routine.

For the longest time, I wanted to ignore it because I was more of a night person.

I didn’t focus well in the morning and couldn’t concentrate.

But I knew if I wanted to make millions and build something meaningful...

I couldn’t start building at 10 am.

So I changed my habits.

And it changed my life.

When my wife and I decided to start our family,

our lives went from being carefree cuddle bugs…

To starting two new companies…

Moving house twice in a two-year period…

And getting pregnant with our first child…

Only to find three months after giving birth, we were pregnant with the second one.

So to say that our life was hectic, would be an understatement.

It was a whirlwind.

But here’s the one thing we realized during this chaotic time:

The need for synchronization and communication within our family.

Without it, we found ourselves feeling disconnected and overwhelmed.

If you feel like you're constantly running but not moving forward…

Here’s why:

The problem isn't lack of time…

It's direction and energy.

When I first got started trying to build a business I wasn't disciplined like I am today.

I used to be the guy who would work a little bit, feel really good about myself, and then take a couple of hours off.

If I worked really well in the morning, I would take the rest of the day off.

I didn't have a strategy.

So after I started my company Spheric at age 24, I started reading books.

And it was a book called Getting Things Done by David Allen that changed EVERYTHING for me.

Now the way I work is completely different.

I have a place for all the crazy distractions that come into my world so I can be incredibly productive.

So in today's episode, I break down my 36-hour week as a multimillionaire in four steps to help you design your perfect week.

You can build a million-dollar company without grinding yourself into the ground...

I often meet founders stuck in this frame of mind.

They put a limit on what they think is possible because they’re scared.

Like my friend Rachel, who after reading my book, saw her revenue TRIPLE.

Yet despite her huge win she started to feel nervous about what would happen if the business kept growing…

Fearing it might become too overwhelming, she put a cap on her growth.

But in my world, building an empire shouldn't scare you...

It’s a life of unlimited creation. One that you never have to retire from.

Want that for yourself?
