On this episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with bestselling author and founder David Goldstein to unpack why 91% of businesses fail—and what the successful 9% do differently. David shares tactical, no-fluff strategies from his book The 9% Club, including his STEER framework and the importance of execution, revenue quality, and strategic focus. This is a grounded, real-talk episode for founders who are overwhelmed, burning out, or unsure if their hustle is actually building something meaningful.
About the Guest:
David Goldstein is a serial entrepreneur, leadership mentor, and the bestselling author of The 9% Club.

Key Takeaways:
91% of businesses fail—not just due to poor ideas, but because of poor execution.
The STEER framework (Strategy, Tactics, Execution, Evaluation, Reporting) helps teams focus, measure, and course-correct.
Hustle is not a substitute for structure. Founders must learn leadership or hire it.
Progress is about results, not busywork—track what moves the needle.
Sustainable success requires feedback loops, strategy-driven actions, and accountability.
