Description

This segment of "Your New Business Journey" dives straight into the myths that trap new entrepreneurs, with a candid round-table featuring Dave Anderson and a powerhouse panel of seasoned founders. From the fantasy that slapping “CEO” on a business card guarantees instant success, to the belief that your first customer defines your future, our guests expose the biggest lies entrepreneurs tell themselves—and the hard-earned truths that replace them. They unpack why passion beats clout-chasing, why success isn’t measured solely in dollars, and why staying flexible (and realistic) may be the most valuable skill of all. If you're starting a business—or thinking about it—this conversation might save you from some painful lessons.



Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of Passage to Profit Show have this discussion with “The Business Bully”, Dave Anderson, Melissa Franks from OnCall COO and life and fitness coach Derick Johnson.
