Hi. I'll try to keep it short but I can't promise it.

I've been employed since age 16. I gave to others eight hours of my life, 5 to 6 days per week. In the meantime, I kept dreaming big. I kept preparing for the moment when I'll start my own business by reading a lot and studying the people that were successful around me. My first two attempts were theoretical in my own country. I call them theoretical because I analyzed the value preposition and the target market so well that I realized they would either fail, either have low success. Even though the ideas were awesome (and they still are), they wouldn’t have achieved the expected profit in the locations that I was affording. My budget is below moderate because my family has consumed a lot of my resources. I also have a certain respect for money and the rents in my country for good locations are huge, as if the country isn’t bankrupt and the people walking around in city centers aren’t broke young people looking just for a beer. I refused to enter into this dumb game where I would pay 5000 EUR for rent while getting less in profit. For others it’s acceptable though and I can’t compete with that.

Sorry if I’m not easy to understand. English is my third language.

Fast forward to the beginning of last month when, after learning the easy skill of web design based on WordPress, I’ve put up GoBelle.me and started selling jewelry. I’ll be honest here, I started this project because I wanted something easy. I don’t like to do bureaucratic investments until I know that I can actually make a profit, therefore I didn’t make a company behind it. I don’t even have a bank account. I just started selling while accepting cryptocurrencies as payment and only recently borrowing someone’s Paypal account in order to allow this as well. 45 days have passed. A lot of marketing has gone into it. Exactly zero sales. I actually thought at some point that I’ve made two sales but… long story short… I did not. OK. I’m not thick, I actually understood very fast that it wouldn’t work. I also didn’t want to do any pivoting because I liked the value preposition as it was: unique jewelry, each item sold only once, crafted using only certain materials that are more expensive.

Two weeks later I changed my focus and I’ve started ProductMonth.com; the idea is that I look for the perfect product one whole month and then I market it to its audience the next one. One cool new product every month. OK. I haven’t done much sleeping since then and the results… two sales in the previous month and this March until now… one sale. It was a problem with this sale though because he paid with 0.0002 BTC (8 cents) less by mistake, therefore he was refunded automatically and the one sale that could have been… gone as well. Zero sales. I don’t see this business ever hitting it big if it can do just two sales in the first 30 days. Are all entrepreneurships as hard as my experiences? If they are, then they certainly aren’t for me because I have a rent to pay and I can’t afford to take the time needed to grow a slow growing business. So my experience until now has been fail after fail after fail and years of my life keep passing by. Any recommendations on how to add a success? Also, what do you do to improve your state of mind when there's a long period of negative feedback?
