Neil Patel – 7 Warning Signs You’re Not Cut Out to Be an Entrepreneur

Being an entrepreneur isn’t for everyone.

It often takes years of hard work, long hours, and no recognition to become successful. A lot of entrepreneurs give up, or fail for other reasons, like running out of money.

Statistics show that over 50% of all businesses fail after five years in the United States.

40% of startup failures are due to a bad fit, followed closely at 38% from lack of time and involvement.

I’ve been open about my past failures as an entrepreneur before.

Running your own business and being in control of how you spend your time is amazing. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

But it’s also really hard.

Neil Patel is an successful entrepreneur and business consultant. His businesses failed a couple of times. The same experience all entrepreneurs do, people like you and me. It is important to know nothing comes easy, neither fast or without failures.
