Not true at all. There are methods and practices that can help with the skill of starting and running a business. I've done it before successfully and the advice in the article is helpful. Luck helps too, but you need to set yourself up to be able to take advantage of the luck you get.

There are no methods to make you successful. If you believe that you are fooling yourself. There are plenty of methods and practices to run a company but that has nothing to do with whether it successful. You can be very unsuccessful and still following all the right methods and practices.

Success is a complex function, but there are some inputs like networking, testing the market, experience, etc. that will improve your chances. It's not helpful to think of success as a lighting strike.
