The Problem With A Failed Business is Three Things - Capital, Wrong People, Bad Market Conditions
So you thought that was the problem. But, that isn't the problem. Samuel Langley had all the money, support from people, and market conditions were great. He attempted to build an airplane, but he failed. Contrast this with the Wright Brothers, who did not have capital and few people working for them. However, the few people who did work or supported the Wright Brothers worked for blood sweat and tears. When the Wright Brothers figured out how to build an airplane, the world didn't hear about it until a few days later. The day Langley found out, he quit. Instead of saying let's improve on your idea, he quit. His motivation was for fame and fortune, which ultimately led him to be unsuccessful. He didn't make money so he stopped.
