Failed Entrepreneurs Find More Success the Second Time
July 28, 2014 /
Given the slight chances of success, it’s a marvel anyone ever starts a business at all. One-third of new ventures close within two years, half within five years, and so on: only one in four is still around 15 years after opening day.

They found that failed entrepreneurs are far more likely to be successful in their second go-around, provided they try again.
