How to build success without regret | EP 212
In this solo episode, Allan Draper dives deep into one of the most misunderstood parts of entrepreneurship — sacrifice. Drawing from his own early experiences building Proof Pest Control and lessons from his upcoming book, Allan challenges the idea that sacrifice means loss.
He explains why true sacrifice only happens when we trade something of greater value for something lesser, and how entrepreneurs can protect what matters most — faith, family, and personal growth — while still building thriving companies.
Allan also shares a personal story about missing time with his young children in the early days of his business and the lessons that moment taught him about priorities, planning, and balance.
This episode is a reminder that success doesn’t come from giving up what’s most important — it comes from staying disciplined, keeping your priorities in order, and viewing every challenge as an investment in future freedom.
Whether you’re in the grind of startup life or scaling your business, this conversation will help you refocus on what truly matters and find motivation in the journey ahead.
