The stats don't account for instinct
There's a reason people from sales do well in biz.
And a reason most businesses fail.
And a reason most aren't cut out for entrepreneurship... let alone solopreneurship.
It's because most people lack any kind of instinct for what makes money and what doesn't.
A good salesman can smell out a deal from a thousand paces. Meanwhile, there are employees shocked to be laid off when their entire life they've never actually made a business ANY money - they've just been a cost of doing business that the company has deemed acceptable in order to keep the lawsuits away. But the minute the economy takes a slight downturn, you've got people with cardboard boxes wailing about how "it's not fair, I gave my life to this company"...
I'm sorry, bub, but them's the brakes.
They never realised that their main job in the economy wasn't to generate profit, it was to be counted in the employment figures... and to CONSUME.
Hell, we've had universal basic income for a while now for vast swathes of the population. They get up, go to work, make absolutely zero money for a company, get paid their monthly salary, and then go spend it all - their actual job.
Now this might apply to you. Offend you. Even upset you. To that I say...
GOOD.
You should be pished off. Imagine being carried your whole career by the departments that actually go and make the cash your company dishes out to you. I don't know about you, but that would hurt my pride something fierce. If all you've ever done is cost a business money and you've never made any... I'm not going to lie, you're starting behind the eight ball.
Your Sisyphean solopreneur boulder is just that bit heavier to push up that hill.
But if you truly want to make it as a solopreneur, slanging emails and info on the internet... you'll find a way.
You gotta be ruthless though.
If you, in your heart of hearts, know you're gonna need some ruthless help to cut what don't collect cash and double down on what do...
