Story of a failure - While it's inspiring to hear success stories, it's important to acknowledge the realities as well.

Personally, I've been involved in over 20 different projects over a period of roughly 5 years. Unfortunately, out of those projects, only one was truly successful. In that instance, I invested $2,000 and dedicated 5 months of my time, which resulted in earning over a quarter of a million dollars within two months of launch. However, rather than being cautious with the funds, I reinvested all the earnings back into the business, which ultimately failed about a year later.

Now, at 33 years old, I find myself questioning my sanity. I’m broke, unemployable, and emotionally defeated. The possibility of adapting to a traditional workplace after years of hustling is basically impossible for me at this point..

I recently spent another 3 months and my last thousand bucks developing a product that unfortunately didn't gain any traction. And this is my breaking point…my rock bottom (hopefully).

While I appreciate the success stories of a fortunate few, it's important for people to understand that this reality may not be the norm for the majority of us. The lesson here is that hard work doesn’t always pay off.

EDIT: I am grateful for the support, kind wishes, and words of encouragement from each and every one of you. Thank you all.
