So true! Starting a business is not for the faint-hearted. It requires so much more persistence, patience and resilience than you can ever imagine! You have to keep going even when it looks as if you're getting nowhere. It took me years (and much trial and error) before I even started to see good results. Making six figures in six months from a business you've started is just not possible for most people - that's the harsh truth! Many thanks for a great article on exactly what it takes to develop a business.
