"I'm not very good at success. That's something I learned as part of this."

Ben Knegendorf went from forklift operator at Walmart to selling his stake in an indoor golf business for $720,000.

His second exit was different - and his brutal honesty about where the money went offers real lessons for entrepreneurs facing their first big payday.
