My dad had great ideas for businesses. Yet each one he started failed for him. Why, because he has such unrealistic view on how long the payback period will be. He even founded with a partner what is now a national company, but at the time it did not make a big profit in the first year, so he sold his share of the business. He had "Get rich Quick" fever, and never saw that bussiness rarely become an overnight success.
