What a great topic. It is amazing the amount of work it takes to get a successful venture going. I've had the opportunity to be a part of two businesses and it takes work. There are few overnight successes.

I like the mention of the fallacy of the "build it and they will come" mentality. This concept is known all to well to bloggers who struggle to get traffic.

Even the most successful of entrepreneurs don't get a return from every project. However, one great project can pay for the time and money spent on several failures.

I like the attitude here. I have seen this principal at work in my own life as I build a foundation through education, experience, and plain old elbow grease that doesn't pay nearly what it should to start with. But in the end, the long-term value that is built definitely outweighs the first few years that were less than profitable.

Good insights!
