I don't understand the downvotes here.
I mean, obviously, you're correct.
But the NYT just said that entrepreneurship means caring more about your dreams than a house for your family.
Really? That's the decision people have to make to start a business? If you don't do that, you aren't an entrepreneur?
It's a great cautionary tale, but as you yourself point out, not all kinds of business have that risk. And as others point out, his problems were avoidable.

So, the NYT is wrong. Right?
