I disagree.  There are lots of tried and true businesses out there which have a high likelihood of success with some basic research.  It&#x27;s just that a lot of these markets are cornered, so you probably wouldn&#x27;t call investing in them entrepreneurship.  Opening a McDonalds or gas station has a pretty high likelihood of success with enough research.  As does real estate.<p>Trying to invent the next great technology is hard, and you&#x27;ll probably fail.  But following in the footsteps of others greatly increases you odds of success.
