With 33 million small businesses in the US employing 46.4% of all private sector employees, entrepreneurs make up the backbone of American business. But is entrepreneurship all that it's cracked up to be? Does running a small business fast-track you to personal wealth? Do legacy entrepreneurs have it easy?

"The Budgetnista" Tiffany Aliche chats with Elegant Eyes Head of Business Growth and Operations Cabral Miller about his unique journey with entrepreneurship. As not only a child of a legacy business, but a grandchild as well, Miller has spent his whole life learning first-hand what it takes to make a small business succeed—and what it takes to fail.

Miller discussed how entrepreneurism is not a golden ticket to success. "It comes with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. I remember days of sleeping in the store because I knew I had so much to do. I knew I didn't have anybody who I could afford to pay to do it. I remember weeks and months of no pay. Those are misconceptions of entrepreneurialism," Miller explained.
