Becoming a swashbuckling business hero who earns millions, is a dream many people have. After all, who wouldn't get excited at the thought of taking an inspired idea and single-handedly changing the world, doing what you love to do, your way.
That's the rags-to-riches story many of us have in our minds about the life of a successful entrepreneur. Being a entrepreneur is sexy and alluring!
The real story is often far from that. Sacrifice, hard-work, long days and nights dealing with uncertainty and a lack of emotional support and financial rewards is usually the story. Staying up at night from worry is a constant and irritating source of frustration.
In fact, 80% of all businesses fail in the first 5 years. 80% of those that remain fail in the second 5 years.
What's the difference between those that win, the ones we read about in the magazines, and the majority of those who don't succeed and fail to reach their goals and fall off and the world never knows their name?
