The Uncomfortable Truth Every First-Time Entrepreneur Needs To Hear

In this episode, Rob talks about how "willful ignorance", "cognitive dissonance", "backfire effect", and the "Dunning-Kruger Effect" are contributing factors to a higher risk of failure for first time entrepreneurs and business owners. We have a tendency to avoid uncomfortable truths that in order to avoid emotional distress or shifting our world-view. This video is an initiation into real entrepreneurship for anyone starting a business in 2024 and looking to make money online.

You speak facts.

Thank you. Am struggling the marketing side of this I have my target audience but don’t know how to get to them

I'm trying to get my clothing brand off the ground but I don't have any money. There's no denying that all business costs money. How can I get round this issue?

[@claudiaadame539]

Unfortunately I feel like you will need 2 jobs, 1 to make money for your rent/bills and to start your business and the second job is your clothing brand, that’s how I feel I get off work to start my real work at home and one day I will leave my 1st job once my 2nd job is up and running, hope this made sense

[@markmccann5191]

​@@claudiaadame539 yeah, I was thinking along those lines. Get a 9 till 5 job for a year. Failing that. Go to university and get a student loan. Take a business degree. I think a student loan is a secure payment like a wage. It pays the bills. Maybe you don't have that option where you are but here in the UK we do 😊

You're not succeeding if you're not struggling. Noone has sustained success without a bit of struggle.

Apparel, can we do a 1-1 consultation? I launched my clothing brand 2-3 months ago and it’s been going well. But I want to know where I can improve on. I know you’re working towards a new company/project recently, but I would really appreciate it if you could run through my clothing line with me 😅🙏
