I don't have the statistics on me, but a lot of successful business owners are on their second or third business. They refer to the first business as a "learning experience" or I remember hearing one say "baptism by fire" though I'm not sure how that rhetoric would sit on this forum.This is true, RR. Don't let it get you down. Entrepreneurship is HARD, and you will fail until you learn. Think about what went wrong and if it's fixable. There's no reason you can't rethink and try again.
Also, many business schools have classes where students have to pick a small business and help it succeed- this REALLY helped an acquaintance of mine with an ailing business. Is there a big school near you where you might be able to benefit from something like this?
