Great list, Yuliya.

I'd add lack of effective marketing. I do a lot of reading about business models and it's pretty astounding how many times a company that is a huge hit, was preceded by a company doing almost exactly the same thing without success. Many times the difference was finding the target consumers.

Great line, Grouch. I've always had a singular issue with what I call "circular success." I'm getting rich telling you about how to get rich. It's like the envelope stuffing scam of the the new generation.
