Yes, they surely do. But in the end, experience is more powerful because it can transform hard work into smart work. Those who fail and never try again are the ones that think the future is more of the same, while the first day of attempting a new skill is most often the worst one and it gets all the easier after that. They use the power of now against them.

Of course, there are many variables that are very different when we compare starting businesses to becoming a black belt.
