If you are in silicon valley you can sample from everyone that took a seed round or everyone that quit their job to work full-time on a startup.

In my sample of people I know or know of, the people who took risks created more wealth.

If you don't play, you can't win, but that's such a basic, entry-level observation that it can't sell books or seminars. People don't want to know the obvious, that if you don't try you can't succeed, they want to know how to select for success.

I'm not sure about that.

The choice is between getting a seed round and going and working at Google making 200k entry level in total comp.

I doubt many startup founders beat "just go and work for Google full time"
