Chapters

Behind every business success is a near-death story. One good example of this would be Disney, creator of Mickey Mouse, Disneyland, Disney World. When he first came out with Mickey Mouse, it was rejected so many times over and over and over, and he was told that it wouldn't amount to anything. He kept with it. Eventually, the whole Disney brand became a thing. Main thing here is Walt Disney himself looked death in the eye and continued to persevere. It takes a certain type of mindset to be okay with the struggle, to understand that the struggle is part of the journey, and how you ultimately deal with it is what defines who you are. are as an entrepreneur and defines what type of results you end up getting.
