Previous success doesn’t just reveal inherent quality, it’s also a learning experience: people who have succeeded know the amount of work, frustration, and personal transformation that goes into founding a company and successful growth. They can reasonably choose to do it again. I don’t think that first-timers ignore the amount of work that much, but simply having an idea beforehand helps. Knowing what it’s like to change yourself is also a very difficult thing to anticipate.
