Why do they? Too much competition. Lease, equipment, skill and loyalty. What you need to succeed and apply to anything. Generally it’s about missing out on one of these factors. Land, Labor or Capital.

Economics: 3 classic faction of production. Land Labor and Capital.

Land(connections): Connection, positional advantage, it’s who you know. It’s not what you know it’s who you know. People you’re spending time around.

Labor: Your skill and skill of team. The things in your head, the books you read and things you know.

Capital: Cash. Free money for you to invest into you. Requires money to buy nutritional foods and eating right.

Classic faction of production goes up when you gain momentum and positional advantage. In a war you set your enemy up to lose by positioning yourself so that they work against gravity in a fight. In war you would be on top of a hill and whereas the enemy is at the bottom of the hill running up the hill to get to you.

Land: know people involve yourself with who are knowledgeable.

Labor: You need to be a learning machine. Read more think more do more.

Capital: Investment capital.. save up and work your way up. Raise your capital. Business concept: investment private public, private placements, bonds, debt, credit card, franchising fees, liscensing fees, consulting.

Simplest way is to be a good steward with your money.
