Transactional vs. Transformational: How Commitment Multiplies Everything with Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan - 10xTalk Episode #242
Episode 242
Friday, 21 November, 2025

Joe Polish and Dan Sullivan unpack why Entrepreneurs stall when they treat growth as a transaction—and how commitment ("will that builds skill") creates transformational results. They cover lifelong learning, referability habits, and Dan's 100-books-in-100-quarters project as a model for creating the future through commitment. Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: Transactional vs. transformational: why "provisional" commitments stall growth Will ↔ Skill flywheel: commitment builds capability; capability strengthens commitment Lifelong learning mindset: treat programs as investments, not costs "Creative insurance": why Dan doesn't decide event-by-event—he decides for life Handling dropouts: empathy without enabling; relationships over extraction Referability Habits: show up on time; do what you say; finish what you start; say please & thank you Recovery insight: rebuilding self-trust by keeping your own word If you'd like to join world-renowned Entrepreneurs at the next Genius Network Event or want to learn more about Genius Network, go to www.GeniusNetwork.com.
