The sobering figures quoted above are a clear “red flashing warning light” of the dangers of new startups and acquisitions.

It is very human for entrepreneurial professionals to fail to see the dangers when they are focussed solely on growing a business, and often their teams around them either fail to see the dangers as well, or are reluctant the be “the negative one” that points out the grim realities. When reality finally hits, it is often too late.
