“You’re just a DJ.”
“That’s not a business.”
“Seriously? Spinning jog wheels. That’s what you’re going to do with your life?”

I heard these things but I kept going. I worked through gear failures, rainstorms, and no-shows. I learned how to read a crowd, troubleshoot equipment, and balance passion with pressure. Slowly, I realized I wasn’t just playing music. I was running a business, even if it didn’t look like the kind most people respected.

That was the disconnect that was what made me start this project.

A Business Attempt exists because so many students try to build things and are never taken seriously. We start businesses, run clubs, create events, and take risks. But unless it’s a perfect success story, it gets ignored. I wanted to create a space where those stories could live. Not just the wins, but the work. The real, messy, and uncertain parts of building something.

I know what it’s like to be told your work isn’t real. And I know how powerful it can be when you choose to share it anyway.
