• “Having a business is ridiculously hard because it requires much effort. It's not ever smooth. And when it is great, take it and enjoy it, but understand that it won't be easy, and that's okay. You just have to be willing to continuously give effort and try your best to solve the problems.  – Mitch Aguiar

• In everything we do, there is a chance that we fail. But if you fear failing, you will just leave yourself with regret. Thus, don’t focus on your fear of failing. Instead, try things out; if you fail, it’s not the end of the world, so just try again.
• Businesses are all about problem-solving. It is inevitable to run into problems when you have a business. Hence, you need to give all your effort and do your best to solve the problems.

Conclusion:

Don’t be afraid to take advantage of opportunities. Just try it, and you will see. You can’t determine if you will fail or succeed, but what’s more important is that you try and make an effort to take action. Remember, every effort you make is not pointless. Even if you fail, there will be significant results from it.
