I decided that I wanted to be an entrepreneur the day I graduated college.

But in just a few years, I faced:

  • Countless failures
  • Countless rejections
  • Countless setbacks

Being an entrepreneur is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Fortunately for me, this is the only thing I can see myself doing for the rest of my life.

Based on my experience, here are the 5 things every entrepreneur must fall in love with to stand a chance:

#1 Failure

We’ve all seen quotes on the internet about how important it is to fail.

As clique as they may sound, they are true.

Failure teaches you everything, whereas success teaches you nothing.

Here is what my life looked like after I graduated college — I started a book rental startup and failed miserably at it.

Looking back, that failure taught me a ton.

I learned the importance of cash flow for a business.

I learned how to manage a team of people.

I learned how important it is to have a co-founder that compliments your skills.
