Specifically, they help you do all the initial development work for your company while you are still at your current job (business plan, hiring, real estate planning, suppliers, etc.) Seems like the right approach to give a business idea a chance to succeed while keeping the risk relatively low. It looks like they can also help with fundraising and a few other things. Worth checking out.

If there is a high failure or difficulty rate, if you dont know why, you probably shouldnt be doing whatever it is. Chances are, whoever the VA person is, if theyre betting all in, chances are it isnt a busted flush. I do take exception about the whole fear thing and being a warrior, however. I am afraid of all kinds of stuff, yet I will bet on me every time. Being afraid of heights didnt stop me from having over 100 jumps in the military. My SGT in training asked me about that once. He said 'Boy, you afraid of heights, how in the hell you gonna be a paratrooper?!'. My reply was simple 'If I cant work around my fear of heights, how will I ever get over my fear of bullets to be infantry?'. I was talking to some chick out at a bar, who had told me she was considering going to grad school for clinical psychology. Not sure if you are aware of the numbers, but its far easier to get into med school, take psychiatry as a residency and make monster ducats than it is to get into and get through grad school. She replied with a really well thought out examination of that circumstance, presented her plan to address the difficulties and convinced me that any concern I had was misplaced. I then proceeded to STFU and we had a lovely discussion. If the failure rate is high, the fact should put some people off.

I'm glad that even when she gives up on the website, she still will give us interesting articles like this. Female masturbation was interesting, but this is both interesting and informative.

Those are pretty good statistics, actually. If I knew I had a 1:4 chance of succeeding at anything I tried, I'd be pretty happy. Means I'd only have to try 4 times (at most!) to get it right. ;) That's a lot better than the statistics of effectively tying my shoes, lately. Har. 25% of new businesses succeed past five years?
