On: Why 99% of Entrepreneurs Fail: Because they don't do anything

stop reading hn and get back to work.

Maybe most entrepreneurs fail because success is a very hard problem? Picking the one great idea that can succeed is hard - even if you have many great ideas. Working hard in a way that focuses your effort is hard even if you work hard.

Maybe 99% of generalizations fail because .... it is easy to generalize and hard to produce useful, clear understanding.

Or maybe... read hn, learn some new things, then get to work.

Stop pretending..

Need to stop kidding yourself that you are learning on HN - it's entertainment.

Well, to be fair it's like 5% learning and ... 95% entertainment.

+ 50% procrastination. Yes, I get more than 100% out of Hacker news!

The two need not be mutually exclusive.
