The Entrepreneur's Blueprint: Breaking the 90% Failure Myth
What if the devastating 90% startup failure rate wasn't inevitable but simply the result of a broken system? Gregory Shepard challenges this accepted statistic with a revolutionary framework born from 1,200+ founder interviews and his own journey of building and selling twelve successful businesses. The traditional Silicon Valley model expects most startups to fail while banking on one unicorn to cover twenty-nine failures - great for portfolio investors, devastating for individual founders with one shot at success. But Shepard discovered something remarkable: startup failure follows predictable patterns. Most ventures collapse because they build the wrong management teams, target inappropriate customers, overlook exit strategies, or follow misguided advice. The good news? These failures are preventable through a systematic approach. Entrepreneurship isn't mysterious magic - it's a science with predictable outcomes when followed correctly. Shepard's own journey from a neurodivergent "weird kid" to successful serial entrepreneur proves that anyone with determination can succeed using these principles.
