There is no such thing as a business that succeeds by itself.  It is the
person behind the business that makes it succeed, regardless of how great
the actual business opportunity may be.  If the operator or owner of that
business is not diligent or conscientious, he or she may in all likelihood
fail.  Therefore, when considering the risk factor of a given business
venture, you must not only take into consideration the amount of money
you're putting up, but also your personal commitment, as well as whether or
not you actually have the drive and ability to make that business work.
