1337: Retire at 50? The Truth About Business Success and Happiness with Local and Micro Business Growth Champion Dennis Hall

Sunday, June 8, 2025

It’s easy to blame outside forces when progress stalls, but sometimes the real slowdown happens inside our own heads. Constant second-guessing, perfectionism, and chasing too many ideas at once can quietly kill momentum. Business starts to feel like a loop—busy days with little real progress, and a creeping sense that something’s off. Often, the problem isn’t the plan or the tools—it’s the noise we create for ourselves that keeps us from moving forward.

Dennis Hall is an Australian entrepreneur, business growth champion, and author specializing in supporting micro businesses. He has written a book titled "If 70 is the New 50? When Do I Get to Retire?" and runs business expos throughout Southeast Queensland. He brings real-world experience to the table, helping small business owners stop working in their business and start building one that supports their life. Today, he unpacks how strong networks fuel growth, especially for micro businesses often operating in isolation. He highlights how fear stalls progress and why clear strategies and accountability are non-negotiable. Stay tuned!
