Don't most business people usually hear what they want to hear when they're trying to make money?

I think it's too easy to get caught up in the hype when you're excited about starting a new business. Most businessfolk, however, once they've been around long enough to see how things work, soon switch over to taking the practical/negative advice as well. Or else they fail.

It's just getting past the starting phase where everything is new and exciting that makes the difference.
