You Didn't Start a Business to Feel Like This

What if the real problem isn't your work ethic? What if it's that nobody ever taught you how to run a profitable business?

 

You went into business to make a difference. To take care of your family. To build something that matters. But somewhere along the way, the dream turned into a grind. You're exhausted, stretched thin, and wondering why success still feels so far away.

 

Sound familiar?

 

Neeka Williams felt the same way. As the practice administrator for a urology company, she was doing all the "right" things—showing up every day, solving problems, keeping the wheels turning. But she kept asking herself: There has to be more to this, right?

 

In this episode, Brandon sits down with Neeka to talk about her year inside the Profit Planning Network. This isn't a story about magic formulas or overnight wins. It's about finally having a framework that fits who you actually are—and a community that keeps you accountable to your own goals.

 

You'll discover:

• Why most business advice fails entrepreneurs who think differently (and what to do instead)
• How understanding your "financial archetype" can change the way you plan, save, and grow
• The one shift that let Neeka walk away from her business for a full week—without anything falling apart
• Why emotions in business aren't a weakness, but actually a guide to your next move
• What happens when you stop being embarrassed about needing help and start treating business like the skill it is

 

Key Quote: "People don't go into business to fail. You go into business to be profitable, to make a positive impact, to pass on a legacy. You just don't know how—and what Wall Street says and what the business gurus say hasn't been working." — Neeka Williams

 

If you've been feeling like you're running on a hamster wheel and wondering when it gets easier, this conversation is for you.
