7x failed entrepreneur at 35. Burned massive savings and set myself back huge. AMA

Yep. Been floating from failure to failure. The show just keeps repeating. Why do I do it? Maybe I’m an addict. Maybe I love it. Maybe I still believe in myself. It’s pushed away so many people in my life.

    I’ve had similar ventures fail and pushed people away. What were some of the businesses you founded?

    What products or services did you do? What did you learn?

    How much money did you burn through and how much debt did you accrue? Did you get carried away watching too many Shark Tank episodes?

    I am amazed by these kinds of stories. I just have to take a step back and ask myself “is this the US?” Because I can not see this happen anywhere else. What Bank grants you credit when you are already in debt? And how stupid are you to accrue debt after debt when you failed again and again? I seriously question your intelligence. And no, you are not Elon Musk.

    99% of gamblers quit right before they hit the big one. 

    You’ll get it champ just move on the next one!

    If you had to choose between getting pegged by a horse or going down on your dad which would you choose?
