Do you agree with the fact that startups are hard, and failure is almost guaranteed?

Agree that startups initially getting hard time to establish in the market but it didn't mean that it 100% lead to failure. We have many real examples where startups established them self as big giant and performing very well. 

I agree.

A company or project in its beginning always faces difficulties and problems in all respects; the success rate or failure is equal.

Thanks

Partly agree ! .....................

Startup of anything is little difficult nit because job is tough but it seems tough to a new starter. He/She can iver come that through careful and decated start up. Failure or success can not be guaranteed in any situation. This would depend always to the volume of preparation, hard work and sincerity to the cause. 

Startup are hard i agreed but failure is not guaranteed its depend on your stratagy

i agree that start up is initially hard but not agree that there is almost failure guaranteed.

i think when some one start any work from longing and hardworking there will be always success 

I agree that startups are hard but it's not impossible, you need to get something new and useful to our world and that's the hard part if you have an idea gives our world a new, better way for a living, communicating and facilitates their life. then success is almost guaranteed.

• Disagree with almost failure
• Agreed start up hardship
• Depend your commitment
• Invlovement
• Depend upon competency
• Right decision on right time and on time

Yes, I do believe it.

This is normally associated with those who keep looking at achievements of the ones around him; whether at work or at home.

Once the opportunity comes to beginners, things start shaping up to suite their conveniences.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that diligence & hard work need be kept with ultimate persistence from beginners until the right moment comes to them.

At that time self-confidence or over-confidence finds itself within beginners' hearts, and respectively reflect positively on them in a form of additional push coming to them from within for seeking better results... etc.

ASK ME... I WAS ONE OF THEM AT ONE POINT OF TIME :-)) 

I had come across a report some time back that stated that there is a 80% chance of new startups closing down within the first five years. But the fear should not stop you from trying because not trying is automatically a failure, take advice from people in the industry, hire people who know what they are doing, above all, learn all you can about your business so that you gain knowledge and apply that knowledge to help you succeed.

Enterpreneurs usually come with solid plan of execution and back-ups. Nonetheless, every start-up will have to go through the real grinding situations which was well thought of or have had missed your thought in the design stage. All that needed is to stick to the basics and keep revisiting the marketing plan and focus on improving the product /service quality and reaching the target customers quickly. The sucess is to strike early wins and get money revenue pump in. Last but not the least, you should maintain optimal working capital to run the show till you see sales picking up!
