>Entrepreneurship is a rich man's game. Notice that almost all of the guys who made it big come from wealth, and had the money and the contacts to lean on to make their product a success.

That IMO puts you into a position where failure is all but impossible. As others have pointed out luck also has a part to play. But if you've got family financially supporting you (or at least able to bail you out) you will succeed eventually.

How exactly do you do it when you're smart enough to be on here but don't come from that kind of background? Are you just supposed to accept it?
