10 Sobering Lessons Learned After Teaching 88 Struggling Entrepreneurs For 6 Months

This guy dug in and mentored 88 people for 6 months.

Great read on his insights after teaching that many people what to do.

after reading it, and thinking of the many people with excuses as to WHY they cant, I just cant get over how much people self sabotage.
