Feras Alhlou argues that business failure statistics shouldn't discourage you. Instead, surround yourself with supportive people, work hard, and use others' doubts as fuel to prove them wrong.
50% of businesses fail. 95% of businesses fail. There are stats supporting all of these numbers depending on how you look at the data. There are people out there who want you to fail. Anyone with that kind of negative mindset, ignore them. If you show people around you that you are giving it your best, they will be supportive. Those who care about you, maybe depend on you, they want the best for you. Get them on board, get them consulted, update them, work hard, and maybe drive that concern that they have. Make it maybe a motivation for you that I want to succeed and then share with them and have them be part of the success once you make it there to the top.
