In this week’s Monday Morning Motivation on the Small Business Survival Conversations Podcast, host Anna Steinfest shares a powerful lesson every entrepreneur needs to hear: stop blaming the obstacles and start focusing on becoming unstoppable.

Drawing from the story of a wrestling coach’s advice—“Beat the Ref”—Anna explains why small business owners can’t waste time complaining about unfair circumstances, tough competition, or external challenges beyond their control. Instead, success comes from becoming so good, so resilient, and so prepared that no setback, bad break, or “ref’s call” can keep you from winning.

You’ll walk away with practical steps to:

• Identify the “ref” in your business holding you back.
• Shift focus from what you can’t control to what you can.
• Build systems and habits that make your business undeniable.

If you’re ready to rise above the excuses and play to win, this episode will give you the mindset and motivation to make this week count.
