Do you think it's important to let entrepreneurs fail when it's avoidable?

[TreyAllDay]

I'm just curious what some of your opinions are... I deal with consulting a lot of new entrepreneurs and small businesses in my side work doing graphics/web, also generally just mentoring friends and being involved in that community. For example, in the last week - I have a friend who asked me about helping him through starting a promotions company (as if there aren't enough of these), dealing with another friend/client who wrote an email titled "I love to coach, how do I make money". In my honest opinion, I feel some entrepreneurs aren't ready to start building CENTS businesses. CENTS clicked for me because it made me realize why so many past businesses were failures. I feel new entrepreneurs would give up being forced to start a "CENTS" business rather than a "ME" business.

So do you, in your mentoring, ever just encourage entrepreneurs to do things even if you know it's likely to end in failure?
