Happy 4th of July! We're revisiting one of our most popular non-racing episodes with Entrepreneurship Expert Mel Abraham.

While we cruise through the 2017 season, take a moment to take stock in your business mindset. 

(FIRST AIRED: 1/24/17)

So you're a racing entrepreneur. Are you crazy or just a typical business owner? What does it take to win as a business owner? How do you create sustainable long-term value instead of short-term  profits? On this episode of The Inside Racing Podcast, we chat with entrepreneurship expert Mel Abraham. Mel dives into the passion required and approach you'll need to have success. Business expert and motorsports professional John Robbins works with Mel to uncover the in's and out's of business ownership. What are the myths and misconceptions, what are the risks and what are the common mistakes other business owners have made. Mel shows us there's a way to think about owning your business that will help you sustain the good times much longer. Most importantly, he provides us with the most important question you can ask yourself as an entrepreneur and the future of entrepreneurship. (Hint: It has a lot to do with a recurring theme we've been discussing on the podcast.) Whether you are just getting started or you've been promoting racing for decades, there's something here for you.
