"Biggest reason most small businesses fail is people don't have any clue going in how much work it's going to be, plus they are undercapitalized, under researched. People think to themselves, 'my it has always been my dream to own my own coffee shop, i can sit on a stool all day long and chit chat with all the people who come by my little shop'. Pretty much my whole family, aunts and uncles, were or are small business people. They worked their asses off for at least 20 years before they could come up for air and start enjoying life a bit.
