Entrepreneurial Mindset: Who Supports the Boss? | Mike and Blaine Podcast

Send us a text

When you’re the boss, everyone looks to you for answers, paychecks, and stability—but who has the boss’s back? In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we dig into the hidden reality that many entrepreneurs and small business owners face: carrying the weight of leadership alone. From sleepless nights over payroll to tough decisions that affect employees and families, the entrepreneurial journey often comes with isolation that no one talks about.

We explore why small business owners so often feel unsupported, what that lack of support costs them mentally, emotionally, and financially, and how it can impact the long-term success of their companies. Leadership burnout is real, and without a network or system in place, even the strongest leaders can struggle.

Mike and Blaine also share strategies for building a safety net of mentors, peers, and advisors, as well as personal stories of how having (or not having) support systems changed the trajectory of their businesses. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, a startup founder, or someone dreaming about running your own company, this episode offers valuable insight into the entrepreneurial mindset and what it truly takes to sustain leadership over the long haul.
