This is key I believe.

A lot of successful entrepreneurs had no safety net, and have been through significant adversity.

Those that have been coddled and never held accountable have worse coping mechanisms and drive than those who have dealt with it and overcome obstacles the majority of their lives.

I think that’s survivorship bias. There’s probably more failed entrepreneurs with the same experiences.

It can also lead to paranoia and distrust, trauma has many negative effects. It’s not just bootstraps the whole way down ;)
