How many times have you heard someone say “investing is risky”? Someone decides to jump into the market following a hot tip, but soon after they put the money down they lose it all when the market takes an “unexpected” dip. They got burnt once, and so they will never try it again, complaining that “Investing is Risky”. Sure enough, for these people, investing is risky!

This is good advice for entrepreneurs of any stripe. It takes a certain level of proficiency to get down the basics, which is a good reason not to become discouraged immediately...and certainly not to become discouraged simply because of failure. But then again, if you fear failure, you have much greater problems than entrepreneurship.

It takes years to get good on an instrument, but the more gifted take only a few to get further than most will in a lifetime of trying, and this excludes child prodigies.
