Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Succeeding in business is not just about making money.
You can't run a business just by selling one thing.
You can't go into business thinking that success will come to you in just one or two years.
In the back of my mind, I can never forget this could be gone tomorrow - and at this point I think the odds are against me... the chances of succeeding in this business are slim to none; there's only a handful of people that have long careers. You have to put in the work, you can never be satisfied, never take it for granted.
Well, I think that there's a very thin dividing line between success and failure. And I think if you start a business without financial backing, you're likely to go the wrong side of that dividing line.
Success follows doing what you want to do. There is no other way to be successful.
It's better to take over and build upon an existing business than to start a new one.
I don't want to do business with those who don't make a profit, because they can't give the best service.
But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.
I don't think you should ever start a business and move in a direction where you can't see it becoming a business.
