There are many, many, many businesses that do several millions or tens of millions in revenue and are happy doing that. The reason they&#x27;re hard to name is because they aren&#x27;t nearly as famous at the the billion dollar business.<p>You&#x27;re also still ignoring the point the article makes about the chances of success. Going for a billion dollar business often forces you to make decisions that sacrifice your ability to succeed with a smaller business. Even if the work and stress were the same, I&#x27;d take a 1-in-10 chance at $10M over a 1-in-10000 chance at $1B any day.
