Rock-solid businessmen understand business and how it works. Nothing personal, only business.

Entrepreneurs are strongly driven by ego, their identity is personally tied to the thing they’re doing. There is immense pressure to succeed, not just for the money, but for their personal validation. It’s not enough to succeed, people must see you succeed.

Otherwise, they’d just open some boring small business no one cares about instead of a hot new startup.
