Entrepreneur Fear of Failure up 50% in Last Decade

In USA, and you can compare that to other countries...

Duncan checks in with a very interesting "build your own graph" website sitting on top of a massive amount of data.  Here we pick a few countries and it generates graphs based on small business data and surveys...  Here is a fear of failure graph


You can choose from Activity, and subsets such as  Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity for Male Working Age Population. or Aspirations, and subcategory "International Orientation early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity" , or Attitudes and perceptions for the subcategory including the above.

This can be found at http://www.gemconsortium.org/visualizations 

Good for perspective....  fear of starting up in USA has grown, but young men are facing their fears and return to start ups reversing the trend.  Check it  out.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

When you go all the way to the most recent data to 2013 (move the bar at the bottom to the right), the slow for the U.S is downtrending for both fear of failure rate and entrepreneurial intention - still not good.

Surprisingly, France has typically had a higher rate of entrepreneurial intention (though falling fast) compared to U.S., since France is often derided as being too socialist.

Many shopping malls and real retail stores are closing, and online retail store sales being tiny (5-6% and this share not expected to increase), then where are the sales being made?

I suspect there are plenty of new stores opening in the favored developments, cities are planning rings-around-a -core to better manage the people below the line and serve the people above the line. The USCensus would have data on this...
