Episode 24 – Four Reasons A Small Business Is A Stupid Business
I know this will sound a little aggressive, and some people might get offended by this, but I’ll say it anyway.
A small business is a stupid business.
Yes, I said it. And I won’t be apologizing because I believe thinking small in business is a sure-fire way to miss out on the growth your business truly deserves.

Many people find comfort in thinking small. But here’s the thing, thinking small stunts business growth. And the only real limits in your business are the ones you create inside your head. Once you stop thinking of yourself as a little underdog and see yourself as an established business with a long-term strategy to match, that’s when you experience true business success.
If it’s time for you to start playing on a bigger scale, then you need to drop that small-scale way of thinking. In this episode, Seth tells you why a small business is a stupid business and breaks down the barriers many entrepreneurs face when trying to think bigger.
