In this episode of Leadership Live at 805 – Talking Small Business, Andrew Frazier, MBA, CFA reflects on the lessons small business owners taught us in 2026 and what those lessons can mean for stronger businesses and better entrepreneur support in 2027. Drawing from coaching, Growth Assessments, cohorts, programs, institutional work, and hundreds of conversations, Andrew looks beyond individual tips to recurring patterns in the challenges entrepreneurs face.
You’ll learn why:
• Entrepreneurs are not short on information.
• Business challenges are often interconnected.
• The presenting problem is not always the real problem.
• Diagnosis and prioritization matter before action. • Readiness matters before capital, contracts, and scale.
• Implementation is often harder than learning.
• Good advice requires context.
• Owner capability matters alongside business capability.
• Different businesses may need different interventions.
• Listening to business owners should shape how advisors and organizations support them.
This is an Andrew-led reflection on what 2026 revealed about entrepreneurship, business growth, and the small business support ecosystem. If we want stronger small businesses in 2027, we have to get better at listening to what 2026 taught us. What is one thing you understand about entrepreneurship now that you did not understand a year ago?
