What is a business plan if you do not have the confidence to execute it? How much does your marketing plan matter if you are battling imposter syndrome? For years, entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs have been taught the logistics of running a business, but how can we be more successful? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 20% of small businesses in the U.S. end up failing within a year. After five years, around 50% fail. The numbers are even worse for black and brown entrepreneurs. It is time that we change this.
