In the early days of America Online, the Internet was by no means "mainstream." Steve Case, co-founder of AOL, easily admits it was a struggle. He almost failed – a couple of times.
He received more than a couple calls from his parents. "Like, 'Steve, we love you. We’re proud of you, but it doesn't seem to be working. You have, like, a plan B to get a real job, right?'
And that is the story of most entrepreneurs."
