I suppose you're tongue in cheek.

But just in case you're not...
Very many people I talk to enjoy kitesurfing because it's less work.
(As one once said: `at last a sport where I don't need to work hard").

And that's very fine, but few business really take off with 'control' alone - usually requires
a LOT of hard work, at least until you get going and get successful.
Another difference is that at kiting (and windsurfing), persevere long enough and you'll get it - guaranteed.
Whereas in business, few are guaranteed to succeed just by perseverance alone.
Perhaps 15% make it to the first year..

Are you sure you agree with the analogy ?

How about we substitute kites and kiting with cars and driving? I have control of the car, I can control my life. I use the accelerator, brakes and the steering wheel, I am a leader!
