As others have said there is a lot of diff factors but I think it’s generally true. I’ve run many different businesses and 5 years is kind of the sweet spot I’d say. Sure we prob made our first dollar of profit in year 2 but getting the business to the point it is enjoyable and actually paying real money without me having to run the day to day has always easily been 5 years.
