I was reading a post by some dude on this sub yesterday. He seemed to be trying out some sort of brash persona where he was being flippant about how $10 million isn't enough and he wants to make real money. Then when people call him out on his BS, he got real aggressive.Just got me thinking how I'm full of shit too, just on a smaller scale. I answer questions fairly regularly, and in most cases try to insert some level of confidence. But the truth is most of the information I'm passing along is stuff that I've heard on a podcast or written on a blog somewhere. Very little of it is through personal experience.But the truth is, I've had 2 businesses that have been moderately successful in my life. Right place at the right time. Other than that I've had a whole bunch of failures. The successes I've had are not because I'm so much smarter than anyone else. Through lucky timing I had some opportunities present themselves and did the best I could.I guess the point of me posting this is to say to all the budding entrepreneurs out there, don't get discouraged by stuff you read on this and other small business subs. Most of us are full of shit. Nobody knows if your ideas are going to work or not. All I can say is develop some grit, know when something isn't working, and keep trying ideas until one hits. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
