I don’t think “learning to play the guitar” and “becoming a successful entrepreneur” are equivalent.

Statistically, entrepreneurship has a high failure rate because it’s incredibly demanding, and the path to success isn’t linear.



Interestingly in mind they are. I believe that becoming a successful guitar player is just as hard as becoming a successful entrepreneur, swimmer or a chess player. Does it appear to be that the number of successful people in the world in each of these 4 is roughly the same?
