I have seen this pattern in the vast majority of successful entrepreneurs I know personally. Fail at school, fired at work, fail, fail, fail, something works, focus, convince everybody that they are actually a genius, tres commas. Prior to success, they have seemed indistinguishable from the many others that ended up just plain failing and going nowhere. Personally I was a reformable failure in that I once had ‘entrepreneur’ potential but succumbed to just enough conscientiousness to chase a traditional career path from behind. Maybe there is hope that someday I will screw up badly enough in the traditional path to force myself into doing something great.
