At MVU Amsterdam, on stage, I asked the audience three simple questions about their journey as entrepreneurs. 

And the answers that came back were powerful.

I want to share the questions and some of the answers with you today. 

See if you relate.

Question 1: What’s the most important thing you need to learn to grow your business?

“Marketing / social media / sales.”

“How to differentiate myself.”

“Get over perfectionism and motivate myself to start doing instead of planning and perfecting.” 

“Financial management.” 

“LEARN TO HIRE EFFECTIVELY” 

Question 2: What’s stopping you from doubling your revenue?

“I don’t follow an action plan. I get distracted.” 

“My fear of taking risks, quitting my job, and putting my family in danger”.

“I’m lacking the visibility and the operational systems. I also create an energetic barrier between myself and my wealth.”

The fear of letting go of the current practices—the ones that are NOT making money but are familiar. It’s also the not-knowing of who to hire and when”.

“Time (as I am currently working a full-time job with 2 young kids).” 

Question 3: Who would you most like to learn from in business?

“Richard Branson, because he joyfully innovates in multiple sectors. And because he is a community builder with a bigger vision of what he can help change in the world.”

“Naval Ravikant—because he is practical and simple and makes so much sense.” 

“Oprah Winfrey.” 

“Vishen to integrate strategy and implementation”

“Steven Bartlett—he learns so many insights from different successful people and knows how to talk about ideas”.

When I read these answers, I realized: business owners aren’t just struggling with marketing hacks, funnels, or ad spend.

The deeper challenges are fear, overwhelm, lack of clarity, and self-doubt. 

And the biggest breakthroughs happen when you build the right mindset, community, and support around you.

This is what we’re building next

You see, we are looking to launch an Entrepreneurial Degree due to popular demand.

This degree is designed to train people in the art of scaling businesses from $5 million to $10 million and even $100 million in revenue.

As many of our Mindvalley teachers—and I—have done.

And we’d love to get your feedback as we shape it.

Now it’s your turn

We’ve opened up the same 3 questions to you and our entire Mindvalley community today.

Because if you’re going to build a $100M business—one that lasts, one that uplifts, one that changes lives—you need more than tactics.

Take 2 minutes to answer these questions

Your voice will help us co-create something the world hasn’t seen before: an entrepreneurial path that scales both your business and your soul.

With love and vision,

— Vishen

P.S. After you take the survey, leave a comment below and let me know what you are looking forward to with Mindvalley.

  1. Hi Vishen,

    I’m a subscriber from Singapore and a big fan of the inspiring content you share. I wanted to kindly suggest that you consider offering alternative webinar times or time-limited replays for those of us in different time zones.

    Many of the summits and live sessions currently fall around midnight or later in my region, making it difficult to participate live. I understand this may be due to the majority of your audience being in other parts of the world, but I believe there are many of us globally who would love to engage more if given a more accessible option.

    Even a 24–48 hour playback window would go a long way in helping us stay connected and benefit fully from the amazing content you provide.

    Thank you for considering the experience of your international audience—we truly appreciate it.

    Warm regards,
    Ruth

  2. As a brand new Mindvalley member, my energy is sky high at what can be learned and achieved! I love the positive vibes that are present and look forward to learning and engaging in new experiences. I am so grateful! Thank you

  3. I would love to create a dance program with Mindvalley and learning how to scale it for all different levels from actual dancers, to middle age to elders as it is proven to help reduce dimentia and Alzheimer’s or play a role in it. Learn how to create it with quality, scale it and earn an income that supports my needs and my family’s and our dreams. Whoever at Mindvalley (prob Vishen or Regan (love her) wants to help make my dream come true, then I’m all in. Oprah would be on the wildest of wild list. Cheers to soaring to new heights, one step at a time 💜

  4. First of all I absolutely love Mindvalley! I’m always growing and learning with Mindvalley. Im looking forward to learning how to scale my business with the new business degree your planning on creating and my goal is to one day be a teacher on consultant on MindValley or speak at one of Mindvalley events.

  5. Hi Vishen. I love the idea of a degree in entrepreneurialism. However, your current approach seems to entireloy miss the point.

    The vast majority of entrepreneurs don’t need to learn how to build a $5 million, $10million or $100 million business – that might be your advanced course. That feels all about ego.

    What most entrepreneurs need is to learn how to set up a business initially to pay the bills consistently. Then to reach their first $100k p.a. Next level is to scale to $1m which only a small percentage ever do.

    Far less sexy for MV as a headline, but that would be a game-changer for most entrepreneurs who never get taught how to run a business effectively, especially in this changing, AI-enabled world.

  6. Mr. Vishen, I truly admire your global impact. As an executive and leadership coach, I aspire to become internationally recognized as a speaker and changemaker. I’ve authored two books, yet I’m still navigating the challenge of turning my latest work ” Take The Lead ” into a bestseller and amplifying my reach. Your guidance on this journey would be invaluable.

  7. I‘m only since about a year part of Mindvalley.
    The offerings are grat and really transforming. I‘m also fully interessted in the Enterpreneurial Degree, but I‘m currently in 4 Mastery‘s and in addition on another school learning how to build my own business. I hope that Mindvalley will launch this beginning of 2026. Otherwise it is too much and I cannot attend.
    Apart from all the Mastery‘s I‘m on the 6 phase meditation, Lifebook, Energiemedizin and Dualität. I went through Silva Ultramind and Learning Mastery.
    For example I already cannot join the Paul McKenna Quest because of it is on the same time as Speaking Mastery

    Thanks a lot for all the great transformation offerings.

  8. What I am looking forward to with Mindvalley is a space that pushes me to align my higher purpose with daily action, a place where I can cultivate extraordinary personal growth from the inside out, sharpen my focus and discipline, expand my consciousness, and unlock the clarity I need to build wealth and freedom without losing balance in family, health, and love. For me, Mindvalley represents not just learning, but the acceleration of who I already am at my core: resilient, visionary, and committed to becoming my best version so I can serve my family, my community, and the world with greater impact. Not an easy task, but working on it.

  9. I just submitted the responses and realized that I forgot to mention someone in the answer to “Who would you most like to learn from in business?” Hence adding in comment.

    And that is Eric Edmeades. He is the pied piper of transformation. All I need is another “Eric says” ( ref: Wildfit 🙂 ) and I know I will get to where I want to get.

  10. Hi Vishen, iam a big fan of mind valley, my life transformed to larger extent because of mind valley. Infact iam an entrepreneur today because of mind valley. But i am stuck and not able to scale it or progress, would love if mind valley can help me grow in this

  11. I joined Mindvalley with one purpose – learn as much as I could about AI – “Amplify with AI”, to integrate into my business world. However – as I immersed myself in the AI side of Mindvalley, I suddenly found myself becoming more and more engaged in numerous of the other utterly spectacular options Vishen offers us through Mindvalley – Wildfit, Paul McKenna, AI for Emotional Growth… All at no further cost to myself. AMAZING!

    I live in New Zealand, so many of the live broadcasts by Mindvalley kick off at 3am… This has been a journey for me, but I have gained SOO much out of these, that time has not been a major issue. Again – AMAZING!

    I am beyond grateful to Vishen for the contribution Mindvalley has made to my life and my businesses…

    Thankyou

  12. Hi Vishen – I have been with MindValley continuously for many years now and absolutely enjoyed the journey of evolution of my soul with the exposure and guidance that is offered in this platform. I love myself now…the version I have become now was my dream a few years ago!!! And I appreciate you very much for identifying the gap in Entrepreneurship field where coaching is necessary to break through the old and conditioned beliefs and perceived fears that slow down or prevent success. As so many changes are happening fast in business field with AI, it will be wonderful to learn from the most successful business persons who are enjoying stupendous success. I will look forward to seeing this program implemented. Thanks to you and Mindvalley for bringing the best knowledge to us.

  13. I’m curious about the Entrepreneurial Degree as someone with a Masters Degree in Psychotherapy who owns and operates a community mental health group practice and would love to see some focus on successful brick & mortar businesses in addition to online business of coaching and spiritual direction!

  14. Hi Vishen & Mindvalley:

    I just submitted my 3 answers — and I’m genuinely excited about the vision for this Entrepreneurial Degree.

    As the founder of the Drelġé Legacy Universe™ — a multidimensional empowerment brand rooted in self-mastery, movement, mindset, and mentorship — I’ve spent the last five years building an ecosystem that spans coaching, community events, podcasting, merchandise, nonprofit programs, and transformational experiences.

    What started as a healing journey through roller-skating has become a scalable legacy blueprint that merges personal growth, brand architecture, and soulful impact — and I’m now preparing to scale it to $10M+ and beyond.

    The next level requires support, community, and education that match the frequency of both ambition and alignment — and I believe Mindvalley is one of the few platforms bold enough to co-create at that level.

    Excited to see how this Entrepreneurial Degree unfolds — and happy to share my journey as a potential case study, collaborator, or contribution to this global movement.

    With love, vision, and velocity,

    — Dr. Laurant “Drelġé” Jolly (Dr. J1)

  15. Hey Vishen – I am in our Manifesting Mastery Class. The people I resonate with the most are you, David Ghiyame and Regan. This class is allowing me to become a better soull. I’d be open a Entrepreneurship Class with the content and teachers that could add value
