I get asked this a lot and I have a pretty standard answer, which is a lot of people come to me and say I want to be an entrepreneur and I go, oh that's great, what's your idea? And they go, well I don't have 1 yet. And I say, well I think you should go get a job as a busboy or something so you find something you're really passionate about because it's a lot of work. And I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You pour so much of your life into this thing. There are such rough moments in time that most people. Give up. I don't blame him. It's really tough and it consumes your life. I mean, if you've got a family and you're in the early days of a company, it's I can't imagine how one could do it. I'm sure it's been done, but it's rough because it's a pretty much, you know, an 18 hour day job seven days a week for a while. So unless you have a lot of passion about this. You're gonna not survive. You're going to give it up. So you gotta have an idea or a problem or a a wrong that you want to write that you're passionate about. Otherwise you're not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. And I think that's half the battle right there.
