Donald Miller on How To Make Your First Million in Business | YAPClassic

Yeah, well, the S-curve explains why most businesses fail, and they actually fail because they succeeded. And here's what I mean by that. Nobody gets into business to run a business. Nobody.

We ended up falling on hard times a little bit.
