They fail because they think wrong, lead wrong, and make soft decisions when pressure shows up.</p><p>In Dan Lok Notes, I speak directly to you in short, blunt episodes. These are the teachings I would give my younger self, distilled into principles you can use immediately. Some episodes are reflective: how to think, how to lead, how to build standards that do not collapse when things get hard. Others are practical: money, scale, leverage, ownership, and the moves that compound over time.</p>]]></description><itunes:image href="https://feeds.podetize.com/eZig3X-K4.png"></itunes:image><language>en-us</language><itunes:category text="Society &amp; Culture"><itunes:category text="Personal Journals"></itunes:category></itunes:category><itunes:category text="Business"><itunes:category text="Entrepreneurship"></itunes:category></itunes:category><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>Dan Lok</itunes:author><link>https://www.danlok.com/</link><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Dan Lok</itunes:name><itunes:email>support@highticketsales.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:type>episodic</itunes:type><copyright>Dan Lok</copyright><item><title>Get It Right Small</title><enclosure url="https://feeds.podetize.com/ep/Sa9qiAr1s/media/Qb2ksUnAC.mp3" length="6613033" type="audio/mpeg"></enclosure><guid isPermaLink="false">Sa9qiAr1s</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 21:00:00 GMT</pubDate><itunes:duration>85</itunes:duration><link> https://www.danlok.com/get-it-right-small/</link><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><description><![CDATA[<p>Scaling doesn’t fix problems.
