Many reasons, but one is universal: 'Hope Springs Eternal'.
Hope will not overcome all the obstacles, nor will it make all the people you must deal with suddenly become honest.
Hope will not instantly give you the superpowers of marketing, staff management, financial acuity, negotiating prowess, unbounded energy, or be a panacea to stress.
Imagine that some of the multitude of books, courses, workshops, consultants, and magic potions actually worked and reduced the failure rate from 80% to 40% - would this be wonderful? Think about it for a second. Would it be wonderful?
That would give you twice as many businesses in operation - twice as many hairdressers, dog-washes, accountants, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers.
Not twice as much money to spend in these new enterprises - just the same amount now needing to support twice as many businesses.
There is only one book that can increase the success rate from 20% to 40% without destroying the economy. 'The Quantum Leap - Owning Your First Business' tells you things that you will not learn elsewhere, and it can definitely save your life savings and your sanity.
The author, Colin S L Mackie, has spent a long and exciting life in business. Many of his own enterprises, starting as a child and commencing his first 'real' business at 19, and working over 100 hours a week and helping him to own two houses by his 21st birthday, and later as a consultant building businesses, and being the most recognised Franchisee Selection Agent in Australia, where he had the privilege of working with 100's of people entering business for the first time. This is not knowledge you can learn from a book, nor is it something you will learn without an open and enquiring mind over decades, and a solid understanding of psychology and human nature.
Inside, you will discover:
• Why up to 80% of businesses fail—and how to avoid becoming one of them
• The four essential pillars required for genuine business success
• How to recognise whether you truly have the mindset required for ownership
• The hidden financial, emotional, and family costs of business ownership
• Why enthusiasm, timing, and personal virtues matter more than business plans
• How to avoid catastrophic mistakes when buying your first business
• The real difference between business owners, self-employed workers, and entrepreneurs
This book does not promise easy success. Instead, it gives you something far more valuable: clarity.
Whether you are considering buying your first business, already own one, or simply want to understand the realities behind entrepreneurship, The Quantum Leap may be the most important business book you ever read.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
