Good point. I was thinking that a lot of the characteristics of great entrepreneurs are really just things that make them more volatile. So for a % of the people they will be more successful, but for another percentage of the people with the same characteristics they will be a lot less successful.

I have no evidence to back this up, just food for thought.
