Does an Entrepreneur lose flair over time ?

Bill Nguyen, a serial entrepreneur explains in a CNN Money article why he feels that his experience has pushed him to be less bold in his approach and thus probably takes off an edge he would have had on ‘the market’, the first time round :

“Here’s what I think about the whole serial entrepreneur thing: Every time I do something, I suck a little bit more,” Nguyen says.
“Experience teaches you to be less bold, more concerned. All these life experiences teach you to be afraid. I have to try so much harder now not to be the sum total of my experiences.”

Unusual honesty and an interesting read…

And it worked, big-time. “The results are pretty breathtaking,” Dr. Peter Pronovost, a Johns Hopkins researcher and the lead author of the study told the Baltimore Sun. “The numbers of infections went down quickly and they stayed down.”
