The One Question That Closes Every Deal

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I talk about why great opportunities show up far outside your assigned industry, and how business becomes easier when you stop thinking in narrow categories. I share what I’m building next, from a book centered on my five daily practices to a TV concept focused on giving promising entrepreneurs a real second chance. I also talk about handling rejection, staying persistent, and giving better meaning to setbacks over time. Along the way, I break down the difference between discipline and devotion, why harmony matters more than balance, how to think about risk tolerance, and what actually helps you stand out when everyone else is competing for attention.
