It is often true that we teach best what we've experienced ourselves. Dave Ramsey went broke - now he teaches other people how to avoid making the financial mistakes he made. I went through a major business crash - and now I help others figure out how to navigate unexpected career and business changes. A listener shares his story of overcoming problematic drinking and now others are asking him to help them.

Questions:

1. "Why is it so hard to figure out the "what" in choosing a small business to start?"

2. I'm at an impasse and don't know where to take my skills.

3. I have had NUMEROUS interviews that they seemed excited and then all of a sudden, it flops.

4. I want to strike it on my own but I have this fear of not getting any business.

5. I am retiring from the government after 31 years and have started a leadership consulting business. It just so happens that I retire "48 days" from today. I am looking for some simple checklist items to follow to cover the bases to get this going in the right direction.
