Unfortunately, the moon is a very different market from the stars, and it has no interest in your rocket's payload. Another way of looking at it: "Most of the successful businesses" also didn't start by aiming for something impossible. Good businesses started small, but continued to have ideas and take actions to keep avenues for expansion open. You can't walk before you crawl. “Aim for the stars; even if you miss, you’ll still reach the moon.”

Before some one start thinking about entrepreneurship I would like to ask, Why some one want to be entrepreneur at all?
1)You want to be famous millionaire
2)You want to live life with your own rules (don’t like regular working hrs at company place or HR policies sucks)
3)You are part of growing population who want to start their first job as CEO or let say want to achieve everything before 30
4)You want to make a difference (social entrepreneurship)
5)You got nothing else to do

There is no golden rule for successful startup, but there is golden rule for avoiding failures (as Paras mentioned)
99.9% failures in entrepreneurship are due to overestimation about your capabilities and underestimation of market trends. Before you try the entrepreneurship, you must have tested your capabilities in some or other ways, must have accomplished something,
