If you keep in the game, you're going to get lucky sooner or later. Quitters, on the other hand, ensure that luck can never find them.
Many successful entrepreneurs had a series of failures before success.
You'll never get lucky by doing nothing.
It is indeed bollocks, because it is "work smart and be rewarded". You have to work on the right things. Working hard at digging holes and filling them in again will get you nowhere. Looking around for an unfilled need, then starting a business to fill that need, will get you everywhere. Preparing yourself to become a valuable employee is another path.
