In this powerful episode of Small Business Survival Conversations, we kick off our new Thursday Real Talk series with Ron Franklin—an executive leader, mentor, and trusted advisor to small business owners.
Ron brings years of experience mentoring entrepreneurs and shares honest, no-fluff insights about what it really takes to survive and thrive as a small business. From mindset shifts to leadership growth, his message is clear and encouraging: asking for help is not a sign of failure—it’s a strategic move that can transform your business.
Tune in to hear Ron’s advice on:
- Avoiding common mindset traps
- Building a strong business foundation without a big team
- What successful small businesses do differently
- Why resilience is built through connection, not isolation
Whether you’re in startup mode or trying to grow through challenges, this episode offers the kind of real-world wisdom every entrepreneur needs to hear.
