What if ambition isn’t something you’re born with, but a capability you can keep growing?In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller explore why ambition is the single master capability for entrepreneurs and how to nurture it. Learn why talking about ambition is difficult, how to grow it continually, and why community and capability are the true accelerators of progress. Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:* Why entrepreneurs rely on ambition more than most people.* The most common misconception about ambition.* How to navigate the social dynamics around ambition.* Why envy threatens ambition and how to spot it.* How Strategic Coach® creates a safe space for honest, open ambition. Show Notes: Entrepreneurs succeed because they decide to rely on their own ambition and capability, taking a road most people won’t choose.​ Ambition is not a fixed trait—it’s a capability, and it grows each time you acquire new skills or take on new challenges.​ Ambition is the single master capability that enables you to achieve all other capabilities. Openly talking about ambition can be uncomfortable because people often feel there’s a pecking order with ambition, but this discomfort is natural, and moving past it leads to greater freedom and fulfillment. Comparing yourself to others works against ambition; entrepreneurs thrive by measuring progress from their own efforts and growth, not against external ideals or other people.​ Envy is the true enemy of ambition—it’s driven by comparison and leads to stagnation rather than growth.​ The Strategic Coach community is designed for entrepreneurs to talk about ambition openly, celebrate wins, and receive genuine support and collaboration.​ Unique Ability® is central: focus on a few activities that truly make use of your strengths, and surround yourself with others who do the same.​ Collaboration among unique, ambitious people isn’t accidental; when you support someone else’s ambition, you reinforce your own.​ Every Strategic Coach tool you master is meant to help you grow ambition, navigate obstacles, and create new opportunities.​ If you want ambition to keep expanding, focus on what gives you energy and leverage your team so you can multiply your results.​ Growth as an entrepreneur isn’t about fitting in; it’s about continually becoming more useful and unique in the marketplace. Resources: Always More Ambitious by Dan Sullivan The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin HardyThe Impact Filter™ Unique Ability® Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy
