I read two books on Entrepreneurship recently. One book recorded 55 successful bosses and the other one talked about 48 entrepreneurs.
My conclusion was the person who initiated the idea was very clever. He must have collected some fee from those successful people and sold the book at $8 per copy.
On the other hand, the readers benefited the experiences from these 103 people.

Every enterpreneur likes to tell his or her own personal story of success but no seldom anyone would relate his or hers failures except some brave souls. In my view, it is safe to guess that out of every 10 businessmen only two would succeed. In other words, running a business may look impressive and lucrative with nice looking office, staff busily working, branded office equipment, name-cards bearing big title like director, big boss visibly driving the latest car model and so forth. No body seems to notice the intangibles like: sky-high rental, asset depreciation, staff pay, utility charges, unpaid loans, multitude of expenses, bad debts, creditors chasing for payment and so on. The woes of a businessman indeed could be many and he could be crying inside and could not sleep at night. As the saying goes: when you laugh the whole world laughs with you and when you cry, you cry alone - that is the realty of life. Yes, it is good to try and become a successful entrepreneur - actually no harm, but think twice before you leap. I am trying to pour water. For those who has plenty of spare cash and resources the risk is acceptable, but for those who depend on their life saving and putting their family members as finacial stakes, the risk is really not worth it.
