Should you launch a startup?

For anyone thinking of taking the leap and starting a company, you should be able to answer the question at the end of this post.

Imagine you're the captain of an Alaskan King crab fishing crew.

You've been at sea for 3 days now and for every single one of those days, your crew has been pulling up empty crab traps. You don't think things can be going any worse than they already are until suddenly, you are hit by a massive storm. The boat is struck with such ferocity that it throws one of the crew members overboard. Your crew is beginning to panic and they quickly begin pulling up the last crab trap. To everyone's surprise, you notice 3 massive crabs crawling around in the trap! With very low supplies, one casualty, a vicious storm, and only 3 crabs after several days of fishing, your crew looks at you for guidance.

What do you tell them?
