that you do not use a discussion like this to cause you to push, push, push toward a highly questionable goal---insuring the outright failure option.
Consider former Congressman Gary Condit of California. He retired from Congress and, with his son, decided the two of them could open and run two Baskin Robbins ice cream stores. It's been reported they lost a quarter of a million dollars (plus disputed franchise fees) when both stores did not work and had to be closed.
"Almost succeeding but not quite failing" might have meant thinking positively about the ice cream business---BUT USING BETTER JUDGMENT AND NOT PLUNGING OFF THE CLIFF.
