If you hope to become a successful entrepreneur, if you want to build something useful, and make money in the process, then here’s the good news for you: Most new businesses fail… The few successful entrepreneurs are written off as lucky, “This person is just lucky, everything he touches turns to gold.” While luck may sometimes play a part in success, more often – failures happen because people are not truly committed to their success, they don’t understand the market they’re targeting, they don’t take advantage of new opportunities. A high achiever may have labored for years, bending every energy to attain his goals. He may have denied himself many things, and his seemingly sudden success may be the result of years of hard work. Thiers, of France, once received a compliment: “It is marvelous, Mr President, how you deliver long improvised speeches about which you have not had time to reflect.” He responded saying, “You are not paying me a compliment; it is criminal in a statesman to improvise speeches on public affairs. Those speeches I have been fifty years preparing.”
