I don't understand why you are downvoted, because you are right.

Conducting a successful career is also very hard. Let alone a successful marriage! Or getting fit, loosing weight.

You want to build a company? Just do it. It's not harder than other things in life.

Edit: some words.

Building a successful startup is infinitely harder than having a successful career as an employee.

Because building a successful company = building many successful careers. The point that many companies still do not get!!!

You absolutely have to invest in your people in a best possible way if you are interested at all in building a GREAT company.
