You're understating the effort of building an online business by a factor of thousand. Author's premise might not be widely applicable — that's debatable but don't make the mistake of assuming that you can just decide to build a product and rake $$$ in a jiffy. It takes a tremendous learning and an arduous effort to even hit few thousand dollars of stable monthly revenue.
- gizmo 10y agoNo, there are many people here who don't know how to build a SaaS business and therefore believe it must be impossibly difficult. It isn't. Building a SaaS business is easier than starting almost any other kind of business. Running a restaurant is hard. Manufacturing is hard. Trying to make it as an independent artist is hard. Breaking through in Hollywood is hard. Writing a bestseller is hard. Selling software with a 98% profit margin is easy.

- gizmo 10y agoPeople have operated profitable businesses for centuries, so we pretty much know what works and what doesn't. I'm not sure I have anything to say that hasn't been said a thousand times before. I have no doubt that there's real value in business advice and coaching, but giving good personalized advice is hard. Just because my business works doesn't mean that I am able to distill exactly why. Not all good doers make good teachers, and vice versa.
