Initial assessments highlight that entrepreneurs often struggle with psychological obstacles like loss aversion and a tendency to seek information that confirms an idea’s viability rather than testing its technical or financial feasibility. Economic factors, such as high inflation and infrastructure constraints in regions like Nigeria, further complicate the transition from idea to active venture. Common indicators of unfeasible businesses include excessive capital requirements and financial models that rely on uncontrollable assumptions. Later perspectives emphasize the role of personal resilience and labor market conditions.
