Your Business Plan Isn't the Problem, You Are | Bob Dickerson
Note sull'episodio
Bob Dickerson has sat across from more small business owners than almost anyone in Alabama. Fifty-three years of it. He has heard every pitch and read every plan.
Ask him why most owners stay stuck and he does not point at the plan. He points at the owner.
That answer is uncomfortable. It is also the fastest thing you can fix.
WHAT WE COVER
- The number one thing holding small businesses back, and why owners never spot it in themselves
- Why a clean business plan does not make you fundable
- What Bob reads in an owner before he ever looks at the numbers
- Why he walked away from a good banking career to build something of his own
- What A.G. Gaston meant by "green power" and why it still decides who grows
- What building it actually cost him at home
