Does anybody really believe startups are easy? When I talk with people, I always make it a point to say "startups are _hard_" -- and everybody nods in agreemen

  Note the date on the article. It's from 2007, which was the height of the Web 2.0 / FaceBook App craze, before the market cratered. Everybody - myself, my future brother-in-law, several of my friends, a few of my current coworkers - was creating a startup back then.

  Startups are easy. It's making one succeed that is hard. That might seem like a semantic nit-pick, but it can be a real problem for some people that easily begin a startup, but don't have the knowledge or abilities (gumption) to succeed.
