Description

Nearly half of startups fail by year two. The surprising truth is that most do not fail because of bad ideas but because the founder burns out, loses focus, or never builds the structure to sustain growth.

If you feel like you are carrying your business on your shoulders and guessing your way through every decision, this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode, you will discover the three most common reasons startups collapse and how to avoid them.

You will learn how to gain strategic clarity so you can stop chasing every idea, how to build systems that prevent burnout, and why isolation is one of the fastest paths to failure.

You will also hear practical fixes you can start using today to create focus, free up your time, and lead with vision instead of desperation.

Do not become another statistic.
