But, no one ever talks about failing on here.

Look at that idiot John Goodman's post history.

If he hit it on the first time he is blessed...I dont know his story..I know that I have been doing my own thing for about 6 years but failed much times in the first couple..There was times that I was losing money..I was in barnes and noble every night trying not to give up, reading inspirational book on businesses, and one thing they all had in common was 99% of people that want to be entrepreneurs dont make it because they dont make that first step...which is try it, they only think it and never act on it...The other was common knowledge from school, which is almost all small businesses show no profit the first year, and just as much in the 2nd..Once thing that learned from alot was try, and try again, you are bound to fail, but if you dont give up you will hit it at least once. This was a common point with many entrepreneurs that have numerous ventures. I am doing okay for myself now at 30, I took baby steps and plan to grow obviously..

I dont know who is lying on here from who isn't but one thing I notice is many people make it sound so easy..like "do this and this, and this will happen its easy"...."or all you have to do is have this mentality, hustle, drive, etc.." I know its all in theory because I heard the same thing that people have been saying foryears...but its not that easy or we would all be rich....

I am very interested in opening my own business but would like to wait a few years to save some money up and wait to invest it in a business that I think could be really successful and that I could put a lot of my time into

I've started a business that failed before. I was in over my head at the time

I've had "buisnesses." Ifu can cal them that! Or maybe u can call these hustles, let me explain. in college. I was a full fledged entrepenuer. I bred and rasied rottweilers. Each litter my female had I sold for 500-700 bucks each. My dogs were akc registered also. The fact that my male dog was puttin out at least 9 healthy pups per litter. I started to stud him with other rott females and I charged a fee per stud session. This was very lucrative for me. I made at least 6gz per litter. Also I had a huge dvd, cd hustle I had on campus. I was gettin money as a college student. I guess u couldn't call them legitimate buisnesses, because I didn't acquire a business lic or file a biz tax return. But my mentality was that I ran it like a real business

Same but this thread is scaring me

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I wouldn't say "failed" but I've had some businesses not be as lucrative as I liked and moved on.

I once had an in-home recording studio that some nikkas broke into while I wasn't home. That deaded that little experiment.

I heard a real ass quote.

You can be friends with your business partners but you can;t be business partners with your friends.
