Why Smart Entrepreneurs Keep Failing (And Don’t Know Why) | Tebow Group CEO Tommy Martin

If your business isn’t working… it might not be your hustle.

It might be what you’re missing.

In this episode of Commercially Speaking, we sit down with Tommy Martin of the Tebow Group to break down why even smart, driven entrepreneurs fail—and the framework that finally changed everything.

After 3 failed businesses, Tommy discovered that success isn’t about working harder… it’s about having the right structure.

We dive into:

• The 5-part framework behind every successful business• Why most entrepreneurs only focus on outcomes (and why that’s a mistake)• The hidden reason your business feels “stuck”• How to diagnose what’s missing before you waste another year• The difference between momentum, ministry, and movement• How to build a business that actually makes an impact

This isn’t motivation.

This is diagnosis.

And if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right—but it’s still not working… this episode will hit.
