CHAPTER 3:
WHY DO ENTREPRENEURS FAIL?
ever live under the misconc ption that succe sful Entrepreneurs have
n ver failed. In fa t, they have probably failed mor than anyone else. It s
the successful Entrepreneurs we se at the top because th y refus to let
their failures stop them.
Still the reality r mains that the statistics aren t really in favor of
Entrepreneurs ...
Forbes reports that 80% ofbusine es fail within the fLr t 18 months.
That's a 20% success rate beyond the first year and a half of a business,
and th numbers g t far worse when you g t into thre or five years past
launch.
However, it's important not to l t that number scare you because many
Entrepreneurs are op rating under th wrong definition of who an
Entrepreneur is and what they do.

In fact, the truth is quite th opposi te. Most peop le who start their own
businesses are very intelligent, daring, courageous, and ambitious.
o matter who you ask, everyone has this perception that becoming an
Entrepreneur is very risky. Thus, an Entrepreneur starts with the
preconceived belief that they will most likely fail. Because of that
perception, many Entrepreneurs are already prepared to fail. That, of
course, is a big problem.
The second problem is that, from day one, Entrepreneurs are taught all
the wrong reasons why so many Entrepreneurs fail. Some of the most
common reasons cited by major publications as to why Entrepreneurs fail
are:
I know that, when taken at fac value, thes reasons seem legitimate. A
business is most certainly going to tank if it nms out of money, right? If a
business doesn't market itself effectively, there s no way it can succeed,
yes?
So when thes issues pop up, peopl see them and put the blame on that
reason alone. But me? I like to peel back one more layer.
I prefer to ask what caused these problems to come up in the first place.

H could open a small hardware store down the stre t. He could open a
store that specializes in se11ingbicycles. He could open a home decoration
sp cialty store. Heck, P te could even start an o,ilirie business selling
custom-printed T-shirts.
The bottom line is that Pete will conduct a full analysis of himself of th
marke t, and of his idea. Pet \viii then make a d cision to start a business,
whichever it is. Again, the focus here is that Pete had the idea, Pete did th
analysis and Pete made th decision to start that business.
Now let's assume the worst happens and Pete's business fails. He's closing
it down. If you were to ask him what happened as he's shutting the door
on his final day he'd probably throw out several explanations like,
On the surface, Pete might even appear to be right I mean, w can all
sympathize with the idea of an evil corporation coming into a sma11town
and assassinating all the small businesses. We can ven have great
compassion and empathy for that.

All these reasons above are external factors. By using thes as excuses,
Pete is taking absolutely no respo nsibility for his failure. He's missing a
couple of impo rtant questions.
I say this becaus no matter what small town you visit, you'll find small
businesses that are thriving despit b ing right down the stre t from a
company like Walmart. So, what do these businesses know that P t
does n 't ?
The problem is that we've been taught for decades to immedia tely go into
self-preservation mode when bad things happe n. We quickly look to
conso le ourselves. We don 't want to feel the pain of defeat, so we create a
scenario tha t justifies our actions and excuses our short comings.
Whil this may help you feel b tter, it' s robbing you of th gift of learn ing
from your experience. By not owning up to our own role in failure, we
never get the chance to improv e and grow.
Think about it. When is the last time you heard someone say,
otice the numb er of times th word 'I' came up in those statements. It's
not easy to take that ownership becaus it makes one tak fuJl responsibility

So if Pete didn't fail becaus of all the external factors, why did h fail?
You fail because of what you do or don't do, not what i done or not
done to you.
Even at my lowest point, when I was 1.7 rniUion in debt, I never looked
outsid of myself to determine why I had failed. I only looked at myself to
see what I did or didn't do.
I was determined to dive deep into myself to figure out what I had done or
not done to create the current cir umstance I was in.
I truly believe that no one talks about the real reasons Entr pren urs fail
becaus no on wants to face them. o on wants to admit that it mostly
comes down to a lack of accountability and responsibility.
Think abou t when you and another kid got in trouble for fighting at
school. If you stood up and accepted the blame, you'd get yelled at by the
teacher. o what do you do instead? Find a way to shift the blame.
Failed a test ? The teacher didn't cover the topics well enough in class.

This mentality starts in our childhood and continues into our adulthood.
For example, just think for a second, if you wer to march into your boss's
office and take full blame for a major loss that just happened, ther is a
good chan e that you may get fired. So, instead, over years, you've learned
ways to avoid taking responsibility and Jive to work another day.
The only pro blem is that in the world of Entrepreneurs hip the self-
preservation tacti that you ve learned over the years will actually lead to
your demise instead of your survival.
Patrick's tory
However, Patrick never worried. The product that Patrick sold was a very
unique product that he had created himself. He was ven in the pro ess of
getting a patent for it. As far as Patrick kn w, he was set for life. H would
just continue to expand the sales of his new creatio n.
However, his competitor had other plans. The comp etition came in with a
similar product that had better features and sold at a lower price. In
Patrick's mind, his comp etitor ch ated him and violated his pending
pate nt. Although he was probably right, tha t didn't stop the inevitabl
from happe nin g. Patrick spent months and tens of thousands of dollars
trying to legally fight his competitor, but his pockets weren' t deep enough
to survive.
When Patrick walked away and losed his doors his exact words to m
were, "Because the government wouldn't prot ct me, my business is gone.
I lost everything."

ow you might think that sounds reasonable. Even I agree that what
happened to Patrick was horrible. His rights were violated and someon
stole from him. I truly have a lot of sympathy for Patrick but at the same
time I'm ready to ask the tough questions.
For starters no business dies overnight Most take months, if not longer,
to die. Patrick's business was no different. I asked Patrick when his
competitor had come into the market with their product Patrick's answer
left me sho ked. H told me that the competitor had come into the market
over a year and a half ago.
The entire tim he was talking to me all I could think about was his
missed opportunities. He had a year and a half to pivot. He had a year and
a half to redo his product or come up with another product. He had a year
and half to launch a different division. He had a year and a half to go into
a new market
He did not fail because this competitor came in and stole his product.
Patrick failed because he was not ready and willing to do the things we'r
going to talk about in this book.
Although you had no ontrol over the programming and messages you
received when you were younger, you don't have to blindly ace pt that
programming. You can reprogram yourse lf, and that's why I'm bringing
e CAPE into the World.
Its the formu la that helps you unwind some of the bad programming.

Success or failure. Either way, it's all about you. It's about how you

The e CAPE plan is really about determining the areas that you need to
strengthen to exper ience Entrepreneur ial success. So, the plan starts with
a detailed analysis on e.a h of the four stages below:
1. Self
2. Catap ult
3. Authority
4. People
However, w do n 't stop at the four stages. From there, we get even more
detailed .
Each of these four stages is broken down furth er into five elements. So
within each of the four stages I'm going to cover five key lessons and
traits that help deter min e what your score is in that particular area.
Think of these fiv lessons as a way of breaking down that specific stag
into manageable pieces. Each lesson is mapped out to help you und er-
stand where you ar today and what you need to focus on for tomo rrow .
You don 't need to master all fiv lessons in each of the four stages. As a
matter of fa t, I highly doubt that there's a single Entrepren ur on the fac
of this planet, including myself that has mastered all of them.
The under lying theme is that th mo re you master the b tter off you are.
Each of the four stages of .C.A.P. (going from employe to Entr pre -
n ur ) are pieces to the overall puzzle of success. L t's take a closer look at
each of them.

That's what catapult is all about. We're going to dive deep into thos
initial mom ents that require the greatest amount of work, and we'll
discuss strategies for thriving in that environme nt.
Just think about your years in school. Each class would have at least 25 to
30 students in it, but how many students got to be a class leader? Only
one . If you played football growing up, you probably had 60 players on
the team but how many got to be the captain? Just one.
The odds of mastering leadership have been against us from the beginning,
but it's not too late.
o matter how confide nt you are in your abilities, nobody can become a
successful Entr preneur alone. We need a network of the right peop l
around us to help us achiev our dreams. In addition to having the right
peop le we need the right energy attitude, and nvironment.
However, the good news is I've been able to develop some iron -clad
strategies to help anyone master this stage as well.

We ask you to tell us a bit about yourself and how you would react in
certain situations. We need to get to know more about who you are,
where you 're coming from and wher you want to go.
At the end, you'll b given your eSCORE along with a full analysis of your
rating in each of the four stages of S.C.A.P. The analysis not only refle ts
your overall probability of success in that moment, but it also dissects th
exact ways you can increase your probability of achieving entrepreneurial
success.
Our goal here is to get specifi with you. It's nearly impossible to chang
yourself and grow if you have a vague idea of what you need. That's why
w get precise and really hone in on specific areas v.riththis quiz.
Its important to remember that this is just a standardized test It's meant
only to giv you an idea of where you stand. It certainly is not meant to b
the definitive answer to all of your questions.
I would never advise making a life decision purely off the number that a
system any system, gives to you.
Instead read this book do your best to und rstand all the core concepts
and then weigh them with your eSCORE to build the full picture.
