The Real Reason You’re Still Unhappy (Even After Getting What You Want) 7:49

13天之前7:49

7:49

Let's talk about holistic value creation. It’s not just about material success; it’s about balancing material value, emotional energy, and spiritual connectedness. When these are in harmony, life feels fulfilling. But when one is off, especially emotional energy, it becomes tough to find true happiness. There's a big difference between chasing happiness and pursuing fulfillment. So many people get what they think they want, a new job, a bigger house, even a big payday, only to realize they’re still unfulfilled. Why? Because they’re focused on external happiness rather than internal fulfillment. In my own journey, fulfillment has become my most important number. It’s not always easy to measure, but I can feel when I’m moving in the right direction. Struggle has played a huge role in that. The hard things, the ones that stretch us—often bring the deepest sense of fulfillment. I also share my experience leading Dinner Table and how building a community of over 32,000 parents focused on raising kids to create value in the world has been one of the most fulfilling, yet challenging, projects of my life. If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing happiness and still ending up unfulfilled, I encourage you to listen and reflect. I share a simple exercise that’s helped me: writing down what makes you feel fulfilled and what doesn’t. It’s eye-opening and can guide you to live a more meaningful life. In this episode, I cover: - The real source of emotional energy and how it impacts happiness - Why fulfillment should be your most important number - The role of struggle in creating lasting value - How building community can combat feelings of isolation and disconnection - A practical exercise to help you identify what truly fulfills you Let’s dig deep into what it really means to create value, not just for others, but for ourselves.

How To 10x Your Income in 2025 6:30

27天之前6:30

Most people looking to 10x their income are searching for shortcuts, hacks, or quick wins. But let me be clear—sustainable, exponential growth doesn’t come from luck or gambling. It comes from building a rock-solid foundation of value creation. In this video, I break down the exact principles that allowed me to grow my income by 10x—multiple times—without relying on tricks or schemes. I’ll take you through my journey, from working odd jobs as a kid to building and selling multiple companies, and the lessons I learned along the way. The key? Value creation. Not just financial, but emotional and spiritual value as well. The people who truly accelerate their income don’t just chase money—they lean in, solve problems, and constantly find ways to create more value for others. I’ll also expose the dangerous mindset that keeps people stuck—believing they can do the least amount of work for the highest return. That’s not how wealth is built. I’ll show you why real success comes from a commitment to growth, learning, and surrounding yourself with the right mentors, peer groups, and environments. If you’re serious about increasing your income in 2025, this is the blueprint. But ask yourself: are you ready to lean in and do the work?

As we dive into this new year, let’s talk about something that impacts every single one of us: struggle. In this short episode, I break down how to reframe your perspective on struggle and use it as a tool to grow, evolve, and create more value in your life. Struggle isn’t inherently good or bad—it’s how we approach it that matters. Whether it's: - Healthy struggles that build our character and capabilities, - Unhealthy struggles we need to overcome without letting them define us, or - Intentional struggles we design to push ourselves toward growth, ...we can all learn to embrace struggle in a way that transforms our lives. Ask yourself: - Are you avoiding struggle, or using it as a tool for growth? - How can you better organize and develop your life to maximize value creation? - What’s holding you back from living and leading at your fullest potential? Let’s rethink how we approach challenges. By elevating our “struggle comfort zone,” we can stay calm under pressure, unlock new levels of success, and make a positive impact on those around us.

The Fundamentals of Value Creation with Lee Benson 14:15

14 weeks之前14:15

14:15

Today I’m revisiting one of the most important concepts I’ve ever applied in my life and businesses: holistic value creation . For most people, “value” often means money—profits, income, and material wealth. But to me, it’s so much more. True value is about creating balance across three dimensions: material, emotional energy, and spiritual (or connectedness). In this episode, I’ll share how I’ve approached value creation as an entrepreneur, a leader, and a family member. From building and selling 8 companies at industry-leading multiples to helping families strengthen their legacies, the framework of holistic value creation has been a game changer. Here’s what you’ll hear: Why emotional energy is the scarcest and most powerful resource How to foster connectedness and relationships in businesses, families, and communities Strategies for increasing material stability in businesses and households Lessons from my journey—from starting with nothing to building multigenerational wealth I’ve seen firsthand how applying this model leads to stronger businesses, healthier nonprofits, and thriving families. Whether you’re growing a company, leading a nonprofit, or building a family legacy, I hope these insights inspire you to think differently about how you create value in every area of your life. Take a moment to reflect: What does holistic value creation look like for you? How can you apply these principles in your decisions, relationships, and daily life? Let’s dive in and make value creation a way of life.
