Unfortunately, I feel like this is a lesson that's best learned the hard way. Everyone can tell you from the get-go to "have a business plan" before committing financially and professionally to a self-concocted venture. It's not until you run through it and witness the brutality of failure first-hand that you realize the importance of doing your homework first and having a plan.
