I failed 4 times before starting the successful business. Part of the process for me was to find out what things about myself I need to improve, and another part of it was finding a business that I enjoy enough to work through the rough days.

I've been running a small business for 10 years. Right now the finances are not looking good. There is $200,000 of business debt and I have $65,000 of personal debt and it's looking like we are heading toward bankruptcy. I'm scared and depressed. This week I'm going to see several bankruptcy attorneys, but I'm probably going to lose everything if I'm able to file Chapter 7 for myself and the business. Worse yet, there are many customers in the business with substantial amounts in preorders... but there's not even close to enough cash to refund them all and the business might only be able to survive financially for a few more months. If I am able to file for bankruptcy I will lose my vehicle and most of my belongings and will probably have to move back in with my mom or a friend. This is the scariest and darkest time of my adult life.

90% of all tech startups fail within 1 year. When I started my own, I simply decided that $50'000 was the money I'd put into it, and Im FINE with losing it all at least for the pursuit of a dream. I would never forgive me if I didn't try that. Better losing it for a good shot rather than spending the rest of my life being bitter and regretful that I wasn't brave enough to do something I truly believed in.

My sympathies. I can greatly relate to your situation. Our business (Kitchen Delight) has been almost 14 years already. It really hurts a lot seeing our business struggle to exist. The business landscape has changed over the last few years. I had experienced our golden years. Unfortunately, now we find it hard to gain customers. we make our own efforts with our marketing and all but the return is not that satisfactory. There are a few causes that I see that made our business unprofitable and here are a few; Inflation. Drastic prices going up results in limited customer purchasing power. Competition. Especially in pricing. Our competitors are well funded thus they can manufacture huge amounts that will save them production costs. The list of factors goes on... The bottom line is that I am still in the part of my life where I am trying to internalize everything and this will lead to loss. It is a hard pill to swallow especially after years of getting used to what I am doing. Now I am still in hardships. I hope years from now everything will be good.

And your force is that you realized and admitted it to yourself. And I like your attitude to this case. Like: "Anyway it is not failure as it is. It is a biggest and most expensive lesson in my life. Which costs $60K and several years time-wasting" p.s. I subscribed to your channel, after this video )))

90% of startups never find product market fit. Out of the rest that do, 42% percent still fail. Failure in the startup world is the NORM not the exception. Successful founders often only succeed after multiple attempts. Being afraid of failure in the startup world is synonymous with "being afraid of success". You have to learn how to fail before you can succeed. Working at a FANG company is a much better ROI, but for many startup founders and entrepreneurs, never trying is even worse than failure. Don't forget you learn a TREMENDOUS amount being a startup founder and while it is painful, it could also be rewarding. Tech companies will look favorably upon your resume if you do decide this journey is not for you.

I think the issue is people go all in when there should be a period were you are sustaining your life (keeping your 9 to 5) and chasing wealth after 5pm... Yes you work double in the beginning but you minimize the potential cost of failure. Example. im a developer with a big idea.. i have a team of likeminded developers, we are working together nights and weekend to bring this solution to reality. Yes it takes longer to launch but you also have leverage when you do, without burning through someone elses funds. if it all fails, you still gain knowledge, new skillset, by all you learned in your personal (Wealth chasing) time. You can use that experience to increase the money you bring in 9 -5.

I been in my business for 4 years bootstrap and I'm now about to see my first dollars. Forget first dollars, possible first million in a year depending how hard I sell and push myself. But it was a process, to go learn the knowledge that I didn't know. Marketing, sales, and finance management. And I invested over 60K, and the money once this machine gets rolling will be back to me times 10 in 30 days. You got to stay down and see it through.

So many people are drawn to the idea of tech startups, side hustles, house flipping, KZitem content creators, influencers, consultants, etc. It's the quintessential herd mentality phenomena where ideas and hearsay success stories spread by social media are often a lot sexier than reality. I compare it to the Instagram vacation phenomena. Everybody wants to go to Porto, Iceland, Bali because of the highly edited images and testimonials we see, but it's usually a big let down when you do end up visiting. Your aspirations of striking it rich and being a game changer with your app. is just as much of a crowded space as the beaches in Thailand. Same with all those parents who bend over backwards in this phenomena I call the child worshiping cult with tutors, over scheduling, aptitude testing, soccer, math camp. In spite of all this, there's a 95% chance that most those kids will still grow up to be mediocre.

So what I understand 1 - realise when it's not taking up steam even if you are positive and persistent. 2 - don't do it for the money , like what you want to do , the wrong that you want to right must be real and be violently real about that. It's a pain you really want to solve. ( I personally believe that founder are actually willing to bashing the walls... not just making money, at some point Apple was failing they where not making money .. They had to force themselves by calling back Steve jobs and stake drastic actions to make money sell their stuff in a more expensive way , team up with Bill Gates ( their enemy at the time) ... So start with why but to stay alive and thrive focus on the money later but really start to right a wrong. 3 - enjoy the trip. 4 - of course business only for money exist but you got to be the kind of person that is reaLLY money driven. not everybody is built like that. IF that's not you... know it. Some people are really able to give everything work hard just for money WHATEVER the business HAHAH it's crazy to me but it exist could be plumber could be whatever they will do it.

We just never got the traction that we needed and lost our USP, because we were unable to create the product we inteded to develop. What really striked me in your video is that I feel excatly the same, as you, I also went into the startup world mainly to earn big money and get the feeling of doing something special, but i never loved the work. I had no passion for our product or the things we wanted to do, so even when trying I couldnt give it my all. I hope i will sooner or later find my passion and be brave enough to go for it, whatever it may be. Atleast i know now that it is not the start up world for me, even if it really hurts right now.

Nice one Daniel thanks for sharing your story. Tis a cliché to say but you only regret what you don’t do. My own business that I closed after operating it for seven years still brings me the greatest joy when I think back and lessons learned ever… I’ve had some affirming experiences lately with people passing and I’m convinced that money holds little value. An old friend who was always very concerned about money wouldn’t get a plumber to fix his kitchen tap because he was worried about being overcharged, this was days after being told he had weeks to live! He died shortly after owning three houses in the same road he lived in and had a bank balance fit to burst. I have many similar stories and all of these people would suggest that having a venture fail would be the worst thing in the world to happen. I guess what I’m trying to say here is that people hold money in greater importance than life itself even when money or possessions hold no value after your death. It’s the money that has them, they never truly have the money or a life outside or their concerns about money.

One of the secrets to success is learning how to fail fast. Its not failure, its a shot at basket, shoot again. Once you score a winning shot, it wont matter how many times you missed.

Darren Lacroix has a similar story with the subway franchise. You are better off today than an executive MBA student who spends $60,000 in 2 years to learn from books what you did learn from experience. Onward and upward!

I love being an entrepreneur, but I would recommend for people that want to start a business, is to do it in a field that you know inside and out, and have a passion for. There are successful potato farmers that don't know anything else. Thanks for sharing

Totally agree! That was a huge mistake for me trying to do something because I thought it would bring me money. You are on the right track and I wish you all the best! 😊🙏🏻

Sorry to ask two questions, I want to learn. Had the business started off? And was there a business plan for the startup?
@midsonshort
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for asking! Yes the business was established and had some customers. And there WAS a plan initially but the founders kept changing their minds and so we lost a lot of time and potential customers as a result of having no clear product offering. Had it been solely my business I would have stuck to our original vision, but that wasn’t my call as a cofounder. 😐
