In this episode, we invite former competitive physique athlete turned serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and leadership mentor Dave Ruel to chat with us about the ins and outs of entrepreneurship that is sustainable and successful!
After founding and growing multi-million dollar online companies in the field of health, fitness, and sports nutrition for nearly a decade, Dave saw the dark side of entrepreneurship gradually rob him of his freedom, leaving him burned out and unfulfilled. Refusing to conform to a broken business culture that promotes workaholism and non-stop hustle, Dave created a sustainable structure and systems for his life and business to reclaim his freedom without sacrificing the growth of his companies.
Tune in as Dave reveals the “secret sauce” to creating a thriving business as an entrepreneur. He also shows us how he took concepts from the sport performance space and applied them to his entrepreneurial endeavors!
Fueled by his passion for entrepreneurship and human performance, he launched Effic, an innovative leadership development company that helps busy entrepreneurs maximize their impact and freedom. Following his “efficiency first” philosophy to entrepreneurial productivity and performance, Dave developed a powerful methodology that he sums up in the best-selling book Done By Noon - How To Achieve More By Noon Than Other Entrepreneurs In A Full Day.
Effic's systems, frameworks, and tools, including the Effic Planner, are now used by thousands of entrepreneurs all around the world. Effic has also built a fast-growing network of Effic Certified Partners who teach the methodology on 3 continents, in countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Canada, and the USA.

“You can be successful. You do deserve all of the success and the benefits from having a great business, and you don't have to kill yourself doing it.”
“Entrepreneurs have a very hard time understanding what is important and what is urgent. Everything falls into the ‘do it now’ quadrant where it's urgent and important. We don't have the capacity, we don't learn that, no one teaches that in school, we have to figure it out on the field.”
