Peter Denbigh grew up in what he describes as “the middle of nowhere,” Virginia. He wanted more, and as soon as he was old enough, he used his entrepreneurial mindset to start earning money. In this episode, Peter shares the many business lessons he’s learned from growing his own companies.

Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:

  • How Peter learned to think long term.
  • The tech company he founded while he was a university student.
  • How Peter recovered from a dark time in his career.
  • How he created one of the best-selling games of 2016.
  • What The Strategic Coach® Program has given him.

Show Notes:

The Strategic Coach Program was designed for entrepreneurs who are active and “all over the place.” 

It’s a tremendous strength to realize that being an entrepreneur is a life sentence.

Luck is involved in entrepreneurial success, but the entrepreneur needs the capability of taking advantage of luck.

 The more value they provide, and the faster they can provide it, the more an entrepreneur gets paid for their time. 

When you’re a little bored and you have your eyes open, interesting opportunities come your way.

Kickstarter lets you test a product and validate it, and if it works, you get money.

An idea is worthless without persistent and productive execution.

You don’t need permission to say, “This is how I’m going to be in the world.”

The ride is what teaches you to hang on.

Some people are born with the permission to be themselves, but a lot of people aren’t. 

If it doesn’t excite you, it isn’t worth doing.
