Why 50% of Businesses Fail in 5 Years (And How to Not Be One)
1h 6m | Mar 10, 2026In this episode, Billy Thomas and I discuss the importance of having a strategic plan as a business owner. I share my personal experience of feeling stuck in my business for nine years without a clear plan and explain how creating a strategic plan helped me gain clarity and move forward.
Throughout this conversation, Billy and I explore how a strategic plan helps answer two critical questions: where am I currently, and where am I going? We discuss the framework that helped me get unstuck and the importance of having intentional direction, clarity, and strategy when building a successful business.
