I 100% Agree! But, I also want to add that I believe you can start a very profitable business with careful planning that relies less on luck and more on your hard work! In my opinion people behind high-profit-margin startups that were bootstrapped with no venture capital and were profitable from day 1 are the real business "geniuses". Example: my good friends at basecamp.com Edit: I like to add why I think Basecamp is a good example... first of all they are not my actual friends, I just like their take on how to do business. In case you don't know one of the co-founders (David Heinemeier Hansson) is the creator of Rails. They are all about creating a profitable long-lasting business from start and I very much admire that.
