Not every failed business is about lack of patient, most businesses today don’t do well as a result of surrounding factors either tax payment, bills etc. In terms of business development, is patient really a thing? I doubt, the number of years also matters meanwhile 3-8 years is way longer than expected.
Finance stability goes a long way, though a person must be well knowledgeable in the business field before venturing into any business choice. Consistency also is a major factor, I watched several video clips of well doing business owners and they all passed through same chapter yet they stayed consistent but, within the period of time they also witnessed progress.
The starting cost is a lot in my country; that is my problem. If I want to start a business, the smallest amount that I have to pay, and that means even if I do not have 1 dollar of revenue, not profit, I mean not even revenue, I am not making 1 dollar, and yet I still have to pay literally 400 dollars to start every single month.
The good news is that I do not pay anything to start, so it is just one online form that you fill out, so it is zero cost to start, but then you pay 400 dollars per month to keep surviving. This is why I do not think that there is a logical argument for anyone to start without knowing they will do fine. This is why %99 of the business' started here fails, because most of them do not really get off easily.
