I was curious to just garner some opinions on this topic. I'm a successful 25 year old business person, I've work in sales and marketing and understand hard work and persistence - branding a product properly and hitting the ground to sell the crap out of it, dealing with rejection. I'm leaving my job at the end of the year to sell my software full time, which I have yet to sell however I know I've been honest in honouring the fastlane commandments that it's a product I've directly seen and heard a large need for, the barriers to entry have been difficult, I control it, it's scalable, and it will be independent of my time. I know I will have to adjust along the way, but to be honest - with hard work I don't see building a business to be that difficult if you work hard and honour the fastlane commandments.
So here's my question - you read stats constantly about how 90% of startups fail and it's the most difficult thing you'll have to deal with. Are these people who just disobey the fastlane commandments? People who don't work hard? Open up needless businesses, chase things they love doing, or franchises? How could 90% of startups fail it seems like so many unless these make up a large chunk of "do what you love" people.
