The Real Cost of Entrepreneurship: You Either Aren't Doing Enough, or You're Not Doing It Right.

A recording from JuJuan Buford's live video

Starting a business is a huge step, but it takes more than just an idea to succeed.

Did you know? About 50% of businesses fail within 5 years, and it’s probably closer to 90% if you include the ones that never even get off the ground.

Just like skilled tradesmen, doctors, and athletes, you must treat your business like a craft. It’s not about luck; it’s about preparation and consistency.

Too many entrepreneurs believe posting on social media is enough to grow a business. But without follow-ups or a solid plan, no one engaged. You can’t just post and pray — relationships and consistent effort are key.

Remember:

  • Decide. Be. Do. Have.
    You can’t skip the doing part.

  • Surround yourself with the right mentors and learn from those who've been there. It's not just about hustling harder; it's about working smarter with a solid strategy.

Success doesn’t always mean becoming a millionaire. It’s about doing the work, sticking with it, and defining success on your terms.

So, ask yourself: What price are you willing to pay for success? What are you doing today to make it happen?
