It\u2019s because they thought it would be easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to starting a business, truer words have yet to be written.<\/p>\n<p>Many would-be small business owners believe it\u2019s easy to start a business. How hard can it be? After all, you have a skill. Or a product. Or a service. Or an idea. People pay others for that. Why not you?<\/p>\n<p>So they start, only to learn that step 2 is hard.<\/p>\n<p>Superhumanly hard.<\/p>\n<p>If you think it\u2019s going to be easy, you\u2019ll call it quits before you get close to succeeding.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why so few people draw owls. Or start businesses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PS.
