Starting a business from scratch is almost impossible... that's the simple, honest truth. Taking an idea and trying to mold that into something real, something tangible that people can believe in, is beyond challenging. I've had a go... three times so far, so I should know whether a business will be a success, but I honestly don't. I don't think that you could ever know. Quibi, who launched earlier this year, was a prime example - the most amazingly talented people with all the money in the world and a whole army of analysts supporting everything they were saying. Even still, they got it horribly wrong! I wonder what it takes to create that magic, that something special? I have a great partner with an incredible team and a platform that genuinely changes people's lives. We've worked hard for over a year and thrown everything we have at this...Everything, but I guess everyone who starts a business does, so there are no medals for risking it all. What I do know is that there's no 'Silver bullet.' It takes all of the above and heaps of good luck to even have a chance. We are about to launch Dosen.io and my hopes are high... not just for me but our small team, a group who've come together simply because we believed in this fantastic idea. It could be a lot of things that guarantee success, but my father (Lord rest him) used to joke that "you're better off lucky than smart," and there's a whole lot of truth in that! I d love to hear how luck has played its part in your journey. Here's to being lucky for Dosen.io!!!

Howdy , As an entrepreneur, I sometimes wonder if I did not waste my time by going to school. I feel that most of the knowledge that I have has been gained while working with other people, building ideas into services, marketing our values and exchanging genuine opinions with partners, clients and collaborators. Do you ever think on the same lines?
