📝 Part of a rant on Reddit…
Every single Reddit post shares how this person started a million-dollar business, such as making $10K in a day selling buttons or how a 17-year-old made $50K selling a card game.
Or better yet, how I made $30,000 in a single weekend dropshipping backpacks.
However, what you don’t hear are the people with multiple failed businesses struggling daily.
… These stories fail to consider survivor’s bias and the numerous failed software, grand ideas, TikTok brands, and startups that you’ll never see.
Very true.
But it’s also true that we don’t hear many stories about failed athletes, or failed musicians, or failed actors.
Those stories simply aren’t very interesting 🥱
Well, not unless they lead to eventual success.
Which is the story of one commenter…
First 10 ecom stores failed miserably, 11th made 200k in revenue with barely any profit, but the 12th is a whole other story.
They’re all learning experiences and you absolutely need them to succeed in the end.
(Pretty sure his 11th store was selling a blackhead vacuum, more on that here.)
Anyway, the point is that success in business takes time, and you should expect to fail a bunch 😫 before you achieve success 🤑
That’s just how it works.
Same way the vast majority of athletes, musicians and actors don’t achieve success right out of the gate. They also have to pay their dues, practice their craft relentlessly, and be ready to pounce on opportunity when it arises 👍
