1. During this past Janterm I took a class called "The Fringe Benefits of Failure". We spent the month watching TED talks on entrepreneurship. As you can tell from the title, the main point of the class was failure in the field of entrepreneurship. This was a very important lesson to learn because success in this field is never going to be perfect or easy.
2. a. As i mentioned in the last answer entrepreneurship is not without failure. If you attempt to evaluate an entrepreneur at only one stage, you might only see the failures on the way to success.
b. Also, if you only evaluate one stage you are not seeing the effort and work that is going into the entire process.
