Neither was your marriage, your home, or your business. Something of any value takes time, and in most cases, time to succeed. When a business owner opens a business, they developed a plan for success, right? (They should.) They created forecasts of revenue, a timetable to profitability, and tactics to make it happen. After two weeks, two months, or even two years, they didn't panic and pull the plug, did they? Probably not. In fact, if it didn't start off like they planned, they probably went back to their plan and readjusted some numbers and came up with some new ideas to get it back on track. 

Have you ever wondered how Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson can afford to build billion dollar gambling monuments in Las Vegas? They spend BILLIONS on their casinos and hotels, golf courses and canals, artwork, fountains, and volcanoes! This question is actually easy to answer because they really can't lose in the long-run. Oh, sure, guests do win sometimes. In fact, some people even win big... but only in the short-run. Over time, the odds are built for the "house" to win.
