80% of New Employees Fail Within the First 5 Years

Steve Pavlina:

Now can anyone tell me what percentage of employees fail within the first five years?

If you work at a job and get laid off after 4.5 years, would you qualify for this statistic? What if you quit? Left for a better job? Retired? Got a transfer? A promotion?

If your job ends, does that mean you failed? And if a business “fails” to endure, does that mean the entrepreneur failed? Isn’t every business going to fail eventually?
