| 0:10.5 | business and leadership lessons to help you build a sustainable business that scales, |
| 0:16.0 | lead with integrity, and create a lasting legacy. I'm Kelly Roach, former NFL cheerleader and Fortune 500 |
| 0:23.9 | executive turned eight-figure entrepreneur. Let's get started. In today's episode of the Kelly Roach |
| 0:31.8 | show, we are talking about things that corporations obsess over that entrepreneurs don't and why it causes so many small |
| 0:41.1 | businesses to fail. Now, those of you that are just getting to know me for the first time, |
| 0:47.1 | my upbringing in business was in the Fortune 500 world. I worked for the number one |
| 0:52.6 | publicly traded company in the world for the space |

| 1:37.5 | or they speak negatively about job that they had in the past. And I actually think that's |
| 1:42.9 | one of the biggest problems is that so many |
| 1:45.2 | entrepreneurs didn't have corporate experience before starting their businesses and or they never |
| 1:52.6 | sold anything for a corporation. So their business is the first time that they're really |
| 1:58.8 | learning how to run a business. It's the first time they're |
| 2:01.3 | learning how to sell. And so what compounds that challenge for a lot of people is that a lot of |
| 2:11.3 | the people who rode the internet weave to fame and leverage their personality to build |
