Why Most Ex-Corporate Executives Get Stuck Making $10k Per Month As A Solopreneur.
The costly trap to avoid.
I spent years in business hell.
Every day felt like a constant battleground to survive. I felt like I was on the edge of a panic attack every day. It sucks. I don’t recommend it.
But this period of my life and business taught me a lot.
I learned more about growing a business than in a 4-year business degree. And I didn’t have to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars and waste the best years of my life.
Here’s what I learned.
Mistakes are the only teachers.
Success is a trap.
Because a lot of success is ambiguous. You’re not always sure why something worked. Luck and timing can play a big factor.
On the other hand, mistakes provide clarity.
Because mistakes are unambiguous, it’s always clear why something didn’t work. Mistakes mean you’ve had contact with reality. And reality gave you feedback. Now you need to interpret that input productively.
I’ll never understand people who want to avoid failure.
