The Real Reason New Companies Fail with Chip Higgens Half of all small businesses fail within five years. Half.That’s not a statistic—that’s a wake-up call.  In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Marc sits down with Chip Higgins to tackle one of the biggest, most expensive problems facing small businesses today: the failure to generate and sustain momentum. About Chip For over four decades, Chip Higgins has dedicated his career to empowering small business owners to transform vision into reality. With a deep foundation in banking and economics—from his earliest days in Winston-Salem to executive leadership in three regional banks—Chip’s business banking strategies consistently earned each institution national “best brand” recognition by Greenwich Associates. Yet, his true focus has always been serving entrepreneurs directly, recognizing the vital role they play in shaping communities and driving economic progress. Chip is the author of The Bizzics Way, a guidebook built on the profound idea that momentum isn’t just a business buzzword—it’s a universal law that shapes lasting success at every level. Through his Bizzics coaching practice, founded in 2019 and now further enriched by his book, Chip demystifies business and leadership for entrepreneurs, offering both practical tools and encouragement for the journey. What fuels Chip’s work is his conviction that every business owner deserves access to resources, coaching, and a champion in their corner. He shows that with the right guidance and the power of momentum, even the boldest entrepreneurial dreams can make the world a better place—one energized step at a time.
