The Gritty Reality: Starting a Business Isn't for Everyone
The journey of entrepreneurship is fraught with challenges that aren't often discussed in success stories. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that about 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first 10 years.
Only 25% make it to 15 years or more. This paints a picture of the high-risk environment that is entrepreneurship, requiring a blend of resilience, financial acumen, and a bit of luck to succeed.
