499: The Death of The "Entrepreneur”: Experience from an 8-Figure CEO

Many people call themselves “entrepreneurs” nowadays. Essentially, anyone who can make some kind of income on their own is an entrepreneur, but there is a big difference between an entrepreneur and a business owner. While an entrepreneur can start businesses, a business owner can build, enhance, and delegate out a business. This is something that today’s guest, James Wedmore, is proficient at.

James’ experience in this field speaks for itself, he’s an 8-figure CEO, a highly sought-after coach for successful business leaders, and runs the Mind Your Business Podcast. He has a unique viewpoint when looking at growth, which allows many business owners to take a step back and think “what is truly achievable?”

James helps business owners grow their businesses into scalable, profitable, and successful operations. He focuses on building a “machine” that can run as a business, as opposed to a business owner doing 10+ different tasks, solely because they can. He also talks about the importance of having urgency in your product offering and giving your business what it needs to thrive, not just trying to extract what you need from it.
