the world is full of people who don't think

there are many people who set up in businesses that fail

likewise there are many people who set up in business who succeed

the difference between success or failure in business involves more than planning it includes seizing opportunity, having you're finger on the pulse and probably the two main factors are luck and risk

many people who start businesses fail the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd time

an empty shop is not necessary and indication of failure or success in a business, the shop may just be a dimension of an otherwise thriving concern

for instance alot of Africans who set up clothes shops often operate as seamstresses and tailors and the bulk of their income will come from this aspect of their trade

I know a couple from the Caribbean who just retired after many long years running a catering business their business thrive on doing food for functions such as weddings the shop was a sideline with a small and regular clientele

look beyond the superficial, analyse and THINK a bit more before passing judgement
