According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20% of small businesses fail in their first year, and about 50% of small businesses fail in their fifth year. With stats like that, I can understand why some might be scared of taking the leap into business, but that fear could be holding you back from the potential to do something you love and earn more. Entrepreneurship is filled with twists and turns, so getting mentorship or help from someone who has taken that road before can make the journey smoother for you.

In this episode, Philip Taylor shares his story of building FinCon, taking business risks, hiring your team, managing costs, and strategies to build and grow your business.

Philip Taylor aka PT lives in Frisco, TX with his wife and their three young children. Philip is a CPA, blogger, podcaster, and the entrepreneur behind FinCon, the industry-leading event and community hub for personal finance media/influencers.
