because one thing that isn't ever really talked about, I guess if you look for it enough, it will be,

but a lot of times you see the success stories and you see the happy endings and you see,

they take years of grinding, gut wrenching stress and life threatening stress to a large degree,

of entrepreneurship, which is very real. Even to this day, we get people writing in that,

oh my gosh, where you've been in the last 10 years of my life. I've been struggling and it's like,

yeah, we've been here, we just can't reach everybody.

system on the side, you have absolutely got two people.

You know, to put it in perspective our first year and we did 90,000 in sales.

I mean, we grinded for an entire year and we did 90,000 in sales.

And I had to remember that that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it and the reward wouldn't be there.
