Most small businesses don't survive the first few years because starting a business can be overwhelming. There is a lot to learn in a short amount of time and it can be hard to manage it all. 

It can be hard to manage when things go wrong or when you start focusing on the things that are less important when starting out.

Tammy Johnston of KSA Business joins me this week to chat about how she is helping startups and small business owners to focus on the right things to have success.

She shares how we can all manage better and ensure that we don't become statistics in the sea of small business startups. 

We chat about her podcast, why she started helping business owners and how we can all work together to build a better world while supporting local, small businesses globally.

The energy we bring into our days plays a role in how we manage our days. 

The questions we ask ourselves about our lives, the things we think and feel and how we process the world around us have a direct correlation to how we ultimately feel about our lives.
