New York Times bestselling author Darren Hardy delivers a candid and practical look at why most entrepreneurs fail—and how to beat the odds. Hardy explains that the 66% small‑business failure rate is driven less by external factors like capital or competition and more by internal, emotional unpreparedness, lack of focus, and unrealistic expectations about the entrepreneurial journey. He explores the psychological cost of leaving the “herd,” including criticism, isolation, and resistance from peers, and reframes these challenges as evidence of progress, as well as covers effective sales as a discipline rooted in questioning and listening rather than pitching, the dangers of distraction in the modern digital age, and the importance of developing intense focus, discipline, and personal responsibility.
