There are some assumptions embedded in your question:

1. Entrepreneurs are doomed to "fall", to failure.

2. Being an entrepreneur requires much greater time than being an employee.

Both those are assumptions are true if you go traditional VC-funded startup route, for example.

But there are examples of entrepreneurs who have built companies around a 40-hour work week, and around making money, instead of "5 billion dollar valuation or bust." (VC-funded companies usually go bust, as it turns out.) See https://stackingthebricks.com/how-do-you-create-a-product-pe... for some suggestions on how to go in that direction.

I agree with you. I remember reading an article on Carlos Slim in which he states that entrepreneurship is no reason to forgo family life. (He's happily married)
