I do not know if you guys believe in the universe and all its glory but I just have this extreme gut feeling.

There is no way to fail, if you keep going you will reach success, guaranteed.

Like people on this forum say even if 10 of your businesses fail, your 11th will succeed as long as you keep pursuing.

God, the universe or whatever, will NOT let you keep failing your whole life if you keep pursuing, even as uncreative you are or as bad as all of your ideas are, it is just about continuing.

For example, I look at some of the famous youtubers, most of them started around the 2011 mark, that is 5 years. People on this forum seem to have the 5 year mark from nothing to success as well.

I think that 5 years is a special number, at 5 years you will succeed as long as you keep going without stopping in the previous 4.

I know this is probably very obvious to most of you but I just had a desire deep down to post this.

NO NO NO NO NO.

1st. "God, the universe or whatever" has 0 impact on (letting you fail) -----not trying to talk down your relationship with your higher power. Just trying to be real.
The ONLY thing that will keep LETTING you fail, is YOU.

2nd. You can not just keep continuing and failing with the hopes of a ONE DAY.
One day this will work
One day Ill be smart enough
One day Ill have a break through
BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Now,
If you LEARN every single time you fail, and make the PROPER adjustments, to better your odds of GETTING IT RIGHT the next time around, youll have a better shot at success, for sure.

Throw in persistence, an insanely beastmode work ethic, a super thick skin to deal with rejection, an extreme interest of learning anything and everything about the type of business you'd like to pursue, force your self to make the right moves and rely on ACTION rather than talking about stuff.

You again, will have a much better shot of success.

This guy is 55, doesn't own a home, has a couple side hustles (hot dog stand, rock wall etc) and prolly has a net under 100k.

He himself, thought a miracle would happen as long as he kept pushing, fact is he never pushed hard enough. And now, he will most likely end up 6 feet under before generating any REAL MONEY from a self made business.

Did you mean "breaking barriers"?

I like this OP. And I believe you are right. The reason I believe this is that the journey is the success. Not some "event". Events are just proof to others that you took the journey.

I had an acquaintance pass a few days ago. He was on a journey his whole life. And people knew he was on that journey. He passed (in my best guess) 1-1.5 years before his "event" was going to happen. But nobody at the funeral talked about this "future event". They talked about his journey. I sure hope he was content with the success of his journey. I certainly would have been.

I've declared to my self that I will become a successful entrepreneur, and make millions along the way.

If I spend my entire life, on my "journey" attacking this goal and come up short, I will consider my self a failure.

To some people it's not about the "event" but to me with out that "event" ever occurring, I would have never had a reason to pursue my goals.

That "event" is what motivates me to push through the barriers and make shit happen day after day.

My event will be proof to my self, that I had it in me, and I made a pact to do what ever it takes to complete my goals and reach the millionaire club.

I believe it's very true if you persist and never give up and like M.J. stated learning to take the right actions, you're going to succeed. I suppose this was the one of the best lessons I learned in this forum.

You can take actions, educate yourself all you want too, but if you're not taking the right actions, you're going to keep failing, until you take the right ones.

Which this is probably where I'm at now this year. Having to re-invent my writing style to get better results, communication skills, and getting on cam. While it sucks having to revamp everything, it just wasn't working.

I don't sit around complaining about it, I just know to change and adjust what is appropriate and do something different.

Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.

Agree, learning is key. Both taking in new information, and learning what went wrong with your failures.

Trying to do the same thing over and over failing, and expecting a different result is of course the definition of stupidity.

Did you mean "breaking barriers"?

I assume he meant ultimate failure, i.e. never succeeding. Or objective failure. If 10 of your businesses fail but one succeeds, the world will generally recognize you as a successful business person. This is because most people fail in business and are not ultimately successful, which is of course why the vast majority of the population are simply workers rather than business owners.
