A small percentage of people in each free-market society generate the jobs for everyone else. The people who create these jobs are solidly on The Fringe.
Marriage? Having a kid? Really? I'm no serial entrepreneur, but I'd have thought those are exactly the wrong milestones to pick to do a startup, for obvious reasons.
Other than that, good article, even though the Presumptuous Capitalized Phrases get a little annoying.
"Successful entrepreneurs intuitively know they will win. Losing is simply not an acceptable outcome."
False, false, false!
edit: Might be a fun and useful attitude to have until you fail (if you do), at which point you're just crushed ("OMG I knew I couldn't possibly fail but I did anyway! It's unacceptable!!!")
Exactly. Each start-up failure is a monumental learning opportunity. So long as it doesn't kill you, it will make you (a lot) stronger.
And if the chances of success are 50%, then surely that means that within 2-3 start-ups you should be 90% likely of succeeding... so start-up failure is not actually a failure, it's just getting the fails out of the way so you can get to the wins.
