The Greater Game shows successful entrepreneurs how to think and grow 100x. In this episode, authors Dan Sullivan and John Bowen discuss Greater Community, the fifth of the 10 Multipliers, and explain why building the right entrepreneurial community is essential for making your next big jump.

Show Notes:

Most entrepreneurs have been conditioned to operate solo, even though their biggest breakthroughs come from community.

Dan Sullivan and John Bowen are early pioneers in creating high-level communities specifically for successful entrepreneurs.

Strong communities are held together by shared values and clear principles.

The 10 Multipliers don’t depend on technology; they’re about better thinking that lets you use any technology exponentially.

Entrepreneurial communities stay aligned by using a common language for goals, capabilities, and results.

Entrepreneurship is a big-risk path with no shortcuts, so every member of a true entrepreneurial community has earned their seat.

The Greater Game Dashboard™ gives you a live picture of your current position across all 10 Multipliers so you can see your next 100x moves.

The moment you start using The Greater Game Dashboard, you’re participating in a global community of ambitious entrepreneurs.

Elite entrepreneurs create their own communities and also plug into other high-level communities to multiply opportunities.

Everything you’ve built so far can be multiplied dramatically—but only when you share it with like-minded entrepreneurs who are playing The Greater Game.

What’s In It For Them? by Joe Polish

The Greater Game is now available, and it’s the next-level playbook for already successful entrepreneurs who want to go 100x. Dan Sullivan and John Bowen explore “greater property,” the fourth of the 10 Multipliers, and how transforming your unique genius into intellectual property gives you both peace of mind and a bigger, more durable net worth.

Show Notes:

Greater property is how your unique genius becomes your empire.

You already have assets that can be appraised, and that’s a key part of your net worth.

Just a few years ago, the Patent Bureau in Washington opened the door for education and entertainment to be turned into patents.

In 1980, most company value came from tangible assets, while today many trillion‑dollar companies get 80 to 90 percent of their valuation from intangibles.

When you create shortcuts that other people can use, that’s intellectual property, and there’s a specific price and process for getting it protected.

The creativity you get paid for has long-term value when you take the right steps to turn it into protected property.

Many entrepreneurial companies are still overly dependent on their founders.

When you become the market architect instead of the main operator, your valuation multiples increase dramatically.

Your intellectual property makes you uniquely visible and valuable in a world that’s mostly not distinctive.

It’s far more enjoyable when your business can run without you needing to be there every day.

Intellectual property is the new currency in an exponential, idea‑driven economy.

Unique Ability®

You already know what you’re doing as an entrepreneur, but with The Greater Game, you’re ready to go 100x. In this episode, Dan Sullivan and John Bowen dive into “greater motivation,” the third of the 10 Multipliers, and show you how to turn your unique skills into a self‑generating engine that multiplies your impact in life.

Show Notes:

You have motivation when you’re more excited about what you’re heading toward than what you’re leaving behind.

A central Strategic Coach® concept is Unique Ability®—a set of activities you’re naturally fascinated and motivated by for your whole life.

Being an entrepreneur means you’ve made a bet that you can take on the marketplace head on without anyone else guaranteeing your security.

The number one thing people buy is other people’s motivation, because we’re inspired by it more than any product or service.

Experiencing multiplication in your results might be the greatest long-term motivation humans can have.

You always want your future to be bigger than your past, regardless of your age or stage.

Being excited about a bigger future naturally attracts stronger collaborative partners and better team members.

Entrepreneurs aren’t just about making more money; they’re actually driven by creating a greater impact and getting an emotional paycheck.

You can be intentional about designing your business so you’ll want to keep playing and contributing for the rest of your life.
