It is very hard this day in time to build a business and survive

It is very hard this day in time to build a business and survive.  I have began several businesses over the years and have had difficulty maintaining each of them.  I now realize that I am not alone in my struggles.  Even though statics show how many businesses began and fail each year,  the bottom line reasoning is never really made aware.  Reading the literature and being involved with people like me who have faced the same struggles and sharing our experiences has really helped me understand real business and true free market opportunities.  Thanks Neothink and GO TVP!
