There are few overnight successes in the business world.
Most luck is made.
The truth is, because many of us just aren't willing to pay the price. The exhaustion, pressure, and unrelenting demands of a small business catch them by surprise. They really didn't know it would be this much work. Others set out on their new journey with their egos leading the way - figuring they know all that they need to know, and they aren't going to spend the money or time learning from others more seasoned than them. Impatient to begin their climb toward prosperity, they kid themselves into thinking that they already have what it takes, and at their age, they aren't going to become a student again.
