One Dream & True Financial Freedom!

Take for example my own family. When I announced I'll beat the rat race and become financially independent, they gave me this pearl of conventional wisdom: "If you don't succeed, you'll fail. Most people do." They told me that 90% people fail when they start a business. Showed me a pie chart with all the expenses I was expected to have. My cousin even referenced a coworker of his who failed with his first business. He never mentioned his failures, of course... I had second thoughts when I listened to them. Maybe they were right?
