re: Are You Really Cut Out To Be An Entrepreneur? |

Failure is under rated! How many successful people out there have been successful from day 1? Not many! It's the people that learn from their failures that become incredibly successful. Take me for example, I have lost everything at least twice now, but I know that my experience has made me wiser and more resilient to failure. Not everyone understands what it takes to lose everything and then get back up and take another swing at it...for those of you who do; awesome.
I always cringe when I hear someone say that they will do whatever it takes to succeed...there are some thoughts that go through my head when I hear that, namely: does your spouse feel the same way? Would you donate plasma for gas money? Have you ever missed payroll for 10 employees? Have you ever missed payroll when your closest friend is on your payroll? Have you ever had your water/electricity turned off? You see, when you say that you will do whatever it takes, it means that your spouse is going to be affected as well. I have been fortunate enough to have made it through some ridiculously tough times and STAY MARRIED...it says a lot about my wife. Anyway, selling your plasma sucks...I would do it again if I had to, let's just hope that I don't. In the mean time, my company should hit $1mm in revenues this year...Let's hear it for perseverence!!!!
In the mean time, read my book Suck it up, Buttercup! for my complete thoughts on perseverence and motivation...Good Luck, hope this helped...Rob
