I’m not talking about throwing caution to the wind, walking out of your full-time dance teaching job, and starting your own business…  That’s not what I’m talking about.

Nothing is guaranteed and you are going to fail. Failure is inevitable.  This might not be the marketing tactic that you want to hear, but it is the truth, my friend!
