i also do not believe that the success or failure of things separates the true entrepreneurs from the lucky.
Well said. The separation of entrepreneur from blind dumb luck is educated persistence. The entrepreneur learns from failures and adapts. The ones relying on luck alone will flounder in confusion hoping to get lucky again.

As Mr. Robbins puts it, there is no such thing as failure. 'Failures' are just the wrong way of doing something, nothing more, and a smart person will learn from that. Too many people allow failed methods to reflect on them personally, and that is a mistake.
