The Pains of Business Ownership

DCurtis76

Published on May 1, 2017

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

This latest adventure with Wealthy Affiliate is my 5th attempt at building a sustainable business. I've experienced mixed success with my previous attempts, but the ability to create a long-term revenue generating business has thus far eluded me.

I wouldn't consider anything I've done in the past a failure, per se. I feel like I have learned a great deal in my experiences in business ownership, and while I've yet to build anything long-term, anytime I gain something meaningful from the experience, I consider it a success.

The big reason I'm bringing this up is because I firmly believe that through persistence, preservation, and determination, you will eventually achieve your goals. I'm going to document my experiences here as I attempt to turn this latest venture into a success. My hope is, that as I continue to learn, I can help benefit others as I share my learning experiences with the community here. After all, you're probably here because your goals are similar to mine in that you're no longer satisfied with being chained to a job that doesn't adequately compensate you for the work you put in.

I don't think anything is worth doing unless it also helps others. Truly fulfilling work, in my opinion, improves the lives of others - not just my own! Good luck on your latest adventure, and I hope we can be long-term travelers along the way.

Regards,

Dave
