We hear many more success stories than failure stories.
It makes sense. The success stories give us hope. They give us something to strive for.

However, I think they also give us a mistaken view of reality.
The truth is, with every entrepreneurial success, there are usually many failures and difficulties along the way. This is the truth when it comes to my Entrepreneurial Journey and I'm pretty confident that it is the same with yours.
If this is the case, I think that we need to be more open about our failures. I hate that there are so many marketers that sell a bunch of hype. “Buy my product and I will show you how to make $28,352 in 31 days OR LESS”. That's a bunch of crap. And you know what – that's not reality.
The reality is:
If you want to be successful, you must be prepared for failure- It takes A LOT of work to build a business. A LOT of HARD WORK!
- It usually takes a significant amount of time to make it to the top. It's NOT an overnight thing.
- Sometimes entrepreneurship SUCKS!
- BUT, if you keep at it, you can accomplish HUGE things
- I LOVE THIS
