The Entrepreneurship Lie: Why You're Not Failing, The System Is

Stop blaming yourself. Start questioning the system.

If you're tired of entrepreneurship gurus telling you that success is just three steps away—while you're drowning in debt and wondering why their "simple system" doesn't work—this brutally honest memoir is for you.

M. René pulls back the curtain on the entrepreneurship industrial complex with unflinching honesty. This isn't another feel-good success story about seven-figure exits or cracking the code in eighteen months. This is the story that business influencers don't want you to hear: the one about grinding for years, spending money you don't have, and watching your bank account drain while smooth-talking YouTubers tell you it's all your fault for not "executing" hard enough.

What you'll discover:

Why you need $187,200 just for minimum viable advertising (and why that's insane)

The real reason social media marketing doesn't work for bootstrapped entrepreneurs

How the pandemic created millionaires—but only for those already in the right position

Why most entrepreneurship advice is written by people who've never been in your situation

The hidden costs that nobody talks about: financial, emotional, and physical

How the system is designed to extract money from desperate entrepreneurs

The truth about "passive income" and why it's mostly a lie

This book is for you if you:

Started a business out of necessity, not passion

Are tired of being gaslit by people selling courses about making money

Suspect that maybe—just maybe—you're not the problem

Want the unfiltered truth about what bootstrapped entrepreneurship really costs

Need to know you're not alone in this struggle

Written with raw honesty and dark humor, this memoir exposes the lies we tell ourselves and the lies others tell us about building a business from nothing. It's a validation for everyone who's been made to feel like their failure to achieve instant success is a personal shortcoming rather than a systemic problem.

No sugar-coating. No false promises. Just the brutal truth about what it really takes to build something from nothing in a system designed to keep you down.

If you're ready to stop blaming yourself and start understanding the real game being played, this book is your wake-up call.
