SEGMENT 1: For many small business owners, starting a business is a dream of financial freedom; doing what they love and working when they want. Unfortunately, more often, it becomes a personal prison where they are required to work more hours than any job they’ve ever had and serve customers they dislike. How do you identify if starting a business will be a personal prison or financial freedom for you? David Neagle, founder of Life Is Now, Inc, discusses four questions every aspiring small business owner needs to ask in order to set themselves up for success.

SEGMENT 2: Many companies are battling dysfunctional cultures that are holding them back, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Doug Brooks, author of “If This Book Doesn't Help, It Might be You”, shares how to correct dysfunctional corporate culture, including the actions (and inactions), people and processes that contribute to negative cultures.

SEGMENT 3: One of the biggest barriers to our success is that we do not hold ourselves accountable and we are not accountable to others around us - our team, our customers and our vendors. Bobby Glen James, an Accountability Leadership keynote speaker, is here to share why we don’t do the things we say we’re going to, and how we can change that.
