Are you a small business owner feeling intimidated by big corporations? This episode is for you. Inspired by a powerful quote from Mark Cuban, host Anna Steinfest reveals why being a small, nimble business isn't a weakness—it's your biggest competitive advantage.

Discover the "elephant metaphor" and learn why the very size and resources of big companies make them slow and unable to adapt. Anna shares real-world examples and three actionable challenges to help you leverage your speed, agility, and ability to innovate.

Stop trying to compete on their terms. It's time to embrace your size, play offense, and learn to run circles around the competition.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why big corporations are like "elephants" and what that means for your business.
  • The three unique advantages you have over large competitors: speed, agility, and innovation.
  • A powerful Mark Cuban quote that will change your perspective on competition.
