I want to paraphrase a line from Mad Men made from a secretary to a construction worker talking about working at an ad agency:
"Those people, in Manhattan. They are better than us."
"Why?"
"Because they want things they haven't seen."
She's talking about visionaries.
The reason 80% of small businesses fail is not because they are a bad idea, but is because 80% of small businesses never actually make it to market. People give up before there is a chance to actually make money. Have you ever asked yourself "How does that store stay in business?" Because they followed through, that's why.
