The problem is us. We don't look up to people who have made it in life to inspire us. Wanting to know how they made it. Instead, we look down to people who have failed in trying to make it. That we don't want to start or try for ourselves because we don't want to end up like them.
The way many aspiring entrepreneurs eat up motivation without information or direction is a root cause of so many failures today. They are ready to spend a fortune to be inspired to do the work, but won't spend a penny on learning what work needs to be done and how to do it.
