Most entrepreneurs never make money.

Most entrepreneurs never make money. 

But everyone who really wants to, can.  

Every founder at some point musters up the courage to leave the 9-5 and pursue what most would call the new American dream — entrepreneurship.  

It's the pursuit of freedom and prosperity to provide the best life for you and your family. 

But unlike the 9-5, there's no regular paycheck. If you don't figure out how to make money, you don't get paid. 

And so begins the spiral of getting deep in debt or burning through your hard-earned savings until you can figure it out. That is, if you can. 

Not to be a Debbie Downer on a Monday! If that's you, you're not alone. 

So how do you start making money? I see two paths people follow. 

𝟭) The Hard Way - It's the path most follow. It's the entrepreneurial school of hard knocks. I started out this way. It's learning the hard way over decades of failing and learning. 

It's a way for sure. It's probably what most people do. It's often a DIY journey. It can be lonely for sure. 

The results: a 90% failure rate 

𝟮) A Systematic Discipline - There are elite business schools, accelerators, incubators and venture studios, one-stop shops where entrepreneurship is taught as a discipline. 

They follow a prescriptive framework taught by very experienced serial entrepreneurs. It's like a navy seals bootcamp for entrepreneurs. 

The results: a 70% success rate 

>> The BIG idea: entrepreneurship is learned. No one is born to be an entrepreneur. 

Commit to stop doing what isn't working. 

Commit to finding a systematic approach to learn how. 

Pro tip: Ask God to help you. My experience is when I go to God for help, He's faithful at directing me to the resources to get the help I need. 

Read His promise to you in Matthew 7:7. (google it) 

Someone once said, you have not because you ask not.
