Or you could look at it another way. Perhaps there are many, many that would be successful if only you can get past the first obstacles. The success may be less due to it being a good idea and more to do with overcoming the obstacles. I often wonder how things would be viable businesses if you were good at grinding.

I think most of the "overnight successes" are just stories where people look at the end results without point out the steps in the middle.

Outside of the few "lottery winners", most are grinders that didn't commit business suicide.

Major props for those who grind until they can share their tales.
