Correct. There are many people out there who might have an idea for a business that could be successful, but they are unwilling to take the risk it takes to make it happen. They are content in keeping their job and bringing home their steady paycheck so long as they have their weekends off and can take a vacation every summer.
I have a friend who is a professional chef. She is amazing and cooks some fantastic food. She is always talking about opening a place of her own. I tell her she should. She knows that is a very risky business so she doesn't do it. The funny thing is, her husband makes enough money for them to live on so it isn't like they have to put everything on the line. However, she always has a good excuse why she doesn't either she doesn't want to risk taking out a loan or she doesn't know how to get investors or she can't find the right place. The laundry list of reasons why she can't is huge. Someone who rises above will take that risk and take the chance of failing. Someone who stays in their comfort zone will find a reason not to do it.
