1232: I lost :-(

Ever feel like throwing in the towel after just a few losses? This Solo Sunday, I share what buying Powerball tickets taught me about entrepreneurship, persistence, and why most people quit right before their big breakthrough.

✨ Why This Matters for You

The lottery might be luck, but the lessons apply to every entrepreneur:

  • How quickly we let early failures discourage us
  • Why “you can’t win if you don’t play” isn’t just about Powerball—it’s about your business
  • The hidden cost of quitting too soon

📝 Key Takeaways

  • Losses are part of the game. Whether it’s Powerball or building a business, you’ll lose far more often than you win.
  • Your willingness to keep losing increases your odds of success. Stopping after just a few tries guarantees you’ll never win.
  • Playing forces you to dream. And most of those dreams? You can start moving toward them today without needing a billion-dollar jackpot.

🚀 Put It Into Action

Ask yourself this week: “How many times am I willing to lose before I stop playing?” Then be honest about whether that number matches the kind of business and life you want to build.
