Send us a text In this episode of Faith & Entrepreneurship Podcast, we’re breaking down the six biggest mindset myths that keep people from chasing their entrepreneurial dreams. We’ll tackle the idea that success is only for the highly educated or well-connected, why you don’t have to be ruthless to win in business, and the truth about so-called "get-rich-quick" gimmicks. We’ll also discuss why many aspiring entrepreneurs feel lost before they even start, debunk the myth that success is reserved for the elite, and explain why luck has far less to do with making it than you think. If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure about your path, this episode is for you! I’m Devon Dickinson. I've been married for 25 years and have a family of 6. I've founded, bought, sold, and sometimes failed with 10 different companies. As an individual entrepreneur, my companies have been on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list longer than any other individual. I enjoy investing in real estate and I've coached soccer for the last 6 years; which seems to be what keeps me up at night.
