In this Monday Morning Motivation episode of the Small Business Survival Conversations Podcast, Anna Steinfest shares a powerful story that every entrepreneur needs to hear — the tale of a humble hot dog seller who let someone else’s fear destroy his thriving business.
This episode dives into why good judgment matters more than education, expert opinions, or economic forecasts — and why small business owners must learn to trust their own data, their own customers, and their own instincts.
You’ll learn:
🔥 How fear-based decisions quietly shrink your business
🔥 Why “experts” can unintentionally derail your progress
🔥 The difference between information and judgment
🔥 The 3 action steps you can take this week to make stronger, more confident decisions
If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself or pulled back because of what someone else said, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to think independently — and lead your business with confidence.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
