John Jantsch appears on the Entrepreneurship Elevated podcast to discuss his latest book, The Self-Reliant Entrepreneur, with host Mike Michalowicz.

Jantsch has worked with thousands entrepreneurs and small business owners and has owned his own business for thirty years. He believes that entrepreneurs are a positive force in the world, and he wanted to write a love letter to the entrepreneurial journey and spirit.

Counterintuitively, much of being a great entrepreneur is letting go–letting go of things you can’t control, people’s opinions of you, and the other things that distract us from doing our best work and following our purpose. This book is designed to help entrepreneurs trust themselves so fully that they can really show up and respond to the things that they can control.

To learn more about the book, hear Jantsch’s definition of self-reliance, and how to strike the balance between self-reliance and interconnectedness, check out this episode of the Entrepreneurship Elevated podcast.
