Why most people never make it in business and how you can be the exception. Building a business is EXTREMELY frontloaded. A website. An email list. A lead magnet. All of that stuff is a lot of effort. You do it now, and you will use those months or years down the line. It is similar to any skill in real life. Walking? You kissed the floor thousands of times before you learned to walk. You paid the price early, so you could benefit later. Here’s the weird part… Everybody knows how to walk! Isn’t this amazing? You don’t see people randomly falling over. So why do most people fail at building a business? Because they give up at the ‘learning to walk’ stage. Pay the price now. Do the work now. Struggle now. It WILL pay off soon. Don’t get off the ride until it’s done. P.S.: If you liked this tweet, you will also like these: omresults.com/#blog

I’ll never forget losing my first major client. I assumed everything was fine because they were happy with the work I was delivering. But when the company brought in a new VP of Marketing, she let go of all contractors... including me. Why? I didn’t have a contract in place. I was devastated. It felt like all my hard work had been for nothing. But that failure taught me one of the most valuable lessons in business—always protect your work and your time. I picked myself up, revamped my processes, and made sure every client moving forward signed a clear, professional agreement. That failure wasn’t the end... it was the foundation for the business I have today. What’s one failure that taught you a lesson you’ll never forget? Share it in the comments—I’d love to hear your story.

But here's the reality: getting stuck in those moments can hold you back. Worrying about every single misstep is draining and unproductive. If you let these small issues consume you, they could stop you from making real progress. 
In business (and in life), it's easy to overestimate the impact of small issues. The key is to keep moving forward and not let them derail your bigger picture.
