Ninth Month - His Mom, Brother, Father's tenant and family friend makes a few purchase, this gives him a false sense of progress and he believes he just had his first sale.
I have a friend who's family member did this. He wasn't making any sales on their business venture, and they bought one to help inspire him. He was on the verge of giving up as an entrepreneur.
He got very excited by this and didn't find out until much later what they had done. It motivated him to keep going. He went on to create a very well known business that I'm sure at least hundreds of people on this forum have been customers of.
Must Every FIRST Business of an Entrepreneur FAIL?
EVERY entrepreneur has failed. Anyone who says they haven't is lying to you. Entrepreneurs who end up having a lot of success fail way more than others. The truth is, if you're aiming to achieve anything and grow, you should be failing. Not ever failing means you're not ever growing.
You spent the first 12 months not working on things that would equate to a successful business. But now that you've gone through a year of that, you've learned the hard way those things weren't relevant to a successful business. So, in a way, your failure, has brought you success. It doesn't have dollars attached to it yet, but if you don't quit, it will. You know a lot that you didn't know last year.

Make sure you have a specific goal in mind, and a plan to make it happen. This will help: Accomplish Any Goal You Want
The only difference between successful entrepreneurs and those who never make it, are the people who never make it give up before they reap the rewards of the lessons of their failures.
Keep pushing dude, it's all part of the game.
