I Failed 8 Times. Here’s What Finally Worked.

Most people quit after one failed business.
I failed eight.

The first one?
A $10 razor I tried selling on Shopify in 2019.

No ads. No traffic. No sales.
But I was obsessed.
I thought I could force success if I just kept trying new things.

So I did:

• Amazon dropshipping (got banned with $3K locked in the account)

• A social media agency (crickets)

• Wholesale real estate (no leads)

• Trading (burned through time and money)

• YouTube channel (no consistency, no growth)

• Consulting business (wasn’t ready)

Every single one?
Flopped.

And yeah, most people would’ve quit.
But for some reason…I didn’t.

It wasn’t ambition. It was ego.
I was hooked on the idea of proving everyone wrong, even if it was eating me alive.

So I kept going.
Even while I was $10K in debt.
Even while watching others take off faster. I didn’t need another business idea.
I needed a system. A focus. A single direction.

But nothing stuck—until I read a book that finally slapped me awake:
“The One Thing” by Gary Keller.

One line punched me in the gut:

I realized the real reason I kept failing wasn’t because the businesses were bad.

It was because I never gave anything time to grow.
I was chasing speed instead of skill.
Validation instead of mastery.

So I made a shift:

I stopped trying everything.
And started doing one thing right.

That’s when things finally started to change.

Here’s what I learned the hard way:

Discipline beats dopamine.
Patience isn’t a delay—it's a weapon.
And when you stop jumping ships, you give yourself the chance to build one that floats.

Most people are a 10-year overnight success.
They just don’t show you the 9 years of failure.

So if you're in your messy middle, keep going.
It's not chaos—it's compounding.

PS:
I’m building something for people like us—
the ones who kept going when quitting would've been easier.

Something that gives you the focus I never had in the beginning.
Stay tuned. This will be the reset button you’ve been looking for.
