EDGE with Brandon White

We've all read statistics about entrepreneurs that say most of their businesses fail in the first year.

I decided to do some research of my own to see if this widely used statistic is true. 

I went to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, pulled the raw data and did the analysis for myself. 

Listen to this episode to hear what I found, I believe you'll be surprised.

Quick question for you....

Are you the type of person who wants to get 100% out of your time, talent, and ideas?

If you're not accepting bitcoin for your business, you should be because it's going mainstream with companies like Tesla now not only accepting it, but holding it as an investment on their balance sheets.
