This reflects my experience.

Co-founded a company, and we did OK for a while. At some point, we made a mistake that killed us.

I think I learned from that mistake, but have not had the opportunity to try again - the first lesson cost my savings to that point.

They don't care about people busting ass for no reward and mostly downside, why should they care about someone doing it for much better odds?

You may have one long, extended duration - but you can try again part time, time a business taking less time or resources. You can try until you're 85. Keep going.
