Episode 523: Business Blueprint Spotlight - Dave Curry's Journey from Struggle to Success

In this powerful Business Blueprint Series episode, Bradley sits down with Dave Curry, a real-deal business owner who opens up about his journey—the victories, the struggles, and the moments he almost walked away from his business. If you've ever felt alone in your entrepreneurial journey or questioned whether you could make it work, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone and that transformation is possible.

Dave shares the unfiltered truth about building a business, including:

• The gap between knowing and doing – Dave read the book but wasn't implementing it. Sound familiar? He breaks down what changed and how he finally made the shift from knowledge to action.
• The power of belief – Not just having someone believe in you, but having someone who believes for you when you can't believe in yourself. Dave reveals who played this role in his journey and why it matters.
• You are not your business – One of the most important mindset shifts for any business owner struggling with identity and burnout.
• Building the right team – How Dave learned to invest in people and create a team structure that allowed him to step out of the day-to-day operations.
• Mastering your numbers – Dave discusses how understanding and staying on top of his financials became a game-changer in his business growth.
