Ask HN: Failed/Strugling Entreprenuers please say hi.

What is the difference between a successful and a failed Entrepreneur. Are the successful bunch genetically smarter? Are they more hardworking? or are they simply lucky?

Why do some of us succeed and others fail miserably. Is it nature or nurture. I believe its all about the right circumstances. You throw a monkey on a stack of hey and if he is lucky he will find gold underneath it.

It sucks not to be successful but can you really change that?

It takes all three, smarts, hard work and luck. Your nature and your nurture affect the first two. Luck is the x factor that is out of our control to some degree. Although, smarts and hard work will increase our probability that we will find luck, i.e. Your location, the contacts you make, etc.
