Many people romanticize the idea of being a business owner, often envisioning a life filled with success and ease. But there are a number of misconceptions that people need to be aware of before taking the leap into entrepreneurship. Today, Clarke opens up about the realities of being a business owner and shares the most important things everyone needs to know.

Along with host Carson Grace Toomer, Clake discusses the hidden struggles of business ownership, from financial risks to the pressures of leadership. He shares his personal story of starting a law firm from scratch, including the unexpected costs, sleepless nights, and tough decisions that come with being your own boss. We also talk about why businesses fail, the importance of cash flow and the reality of leading a team when everything is on the line.
