KNOWING THE WORST CAN HELP YOU DO YOUR BEST.

More start-up businesses fail in the first five years than survive.

Yet most business books promise overnight success, endless growth, and freedom by the beach. This one doesn't.

Instead, these pages offer 50 short, sharp stories grounded in lived experience - ideas that work, insights that stick, and lessons to help you keep going.

This is a book about resilience, not hype.

No fluff. No false promises. Just timeless wisdom that helps.
