Do new businesses last?

This is a quote from Dan Miller's book "48 days to the work you love":

"According to Dun and Bradstreet census of 250,000 businesses, almost 70% of all firms that start in any given year are still around in some form 10 years later. The study pinpointed the true failure rate at less than 1% of all businesses per year."

I'd never heard those stats before. Very interesting! Of course, I love starting things. I bought a book on how to write business plans just because I'm so interested in that kind of thing.

By the way, this curriculum was really good! We all learned a lot. If you want to take the course at either Hidden Valley location, we'll be relaunching those groups in September.
