There are many, many, many businesses that do several millions or tens of millions in revenue and are happy doing that. The reason they're hard to name is because they aren't nearly as famous at the the billion dollar business.
You're also still ignoring the point the article makes about the chances of success. Going for a billion dollar business often forces you to make decisions that sacrifice your ability to succeed with a smaller business. Even if the work and stress were the same, I'd take a 1-in-10 chance at $10M over a 1-in-10000 chance at $1B any day.
- brudgers 11y agoThe odds of a $10,000,000 business are also approximately zero, not 1:10 or even 1:1000. That's what the article ignores. The important choice is starting something or not. The bigger the business the more numerous the possible beneficial outcomes. A billion dollar business can 1.2% fail at $12,000,000.
