Small business ownership is a badge of honour—but it can also feel like a lonely marathon. We pour our heart and soul into our companies, yet many of us end up overworked, under‑resourced and wondering if there’s a better way. Even owners who look like they’ve “made it” often silently wrestle with unstable profits, mounting stress and that nagging sense of doing it all on their own.
In this eye‑opening session, we’ll dive into The Business Owner & Advice Paradox—the surprising tension where those who stand to gain the most from outside guidance are the least likely to ask for it.
