He stated that on average a successful entrepreneur fails an average of 2.5 times before achieving success. So I researched what percentage of business start ups succeed, or actually, at least survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turns out that 70% of all business start ups fail in the first 5 years, and 90% fail within the first 10 years. I have always told everyone who was interested in starting a business the following, &#8221; If you don&#8217;t believe in God, don&#8217;t start your own business, because you will have no one to pray to. And you do a lot of praying the first year that you make it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turns out that the praying really doesn&#8217;t stop after year one.  So when I proclaim that I and USA Rolls are Blessed by God, it is not merely words or a catchy phase. It is an actuality.  There are so many examples I can give over our 15 years of how God carried us it is honestly overwhelming and would turn into a book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we ever meet in person, and you want me to give some examples, I will gladly share my story over coffee. God bless and take care!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was watching television on Sunday, I heard an interesting statistic from a minister preaching about failure and how people react to it.
