I am sorry, but I have to be the bearer of an antithesis to all this "Start a small little business, produce good products, and live a happy life" talk that has, of late, become more accepted on news.y.
I think all of you need to go back and read wealth.html . In short: If you don't want to create a lot of wealth, chances are, you won't create any.
- run4yourlives 19y agoMost people don't want to create a lot of wealth. Most people just want to create enough wealth, and enjoy life. It comes back to: Will I be any more happy with a billion over a (few) million in the bank? For most people, the answer is no.
- wanorris 19y ago> In short: If you don't want to create a lot of wealth, chances are, you won't create any. Completely depends on what you're trying to do. It's easy to make a small, sustainable business in some areas, especially service businesses. If you get certified and get a union card, you can hang out your shingle as a plumber or electrician, and odds are you'll make plenty of money, but you have no hope of getting super rich. As a plumber, there really isn't any technology on the horizon that is any obvious threat to make your job redundant, and people in India will never take your job. You are creating wealth, just not a ton of it. This kind of business may be harder to make sustainable in the internet technology industry, but as 37 Signals has demonstrated, it's certainly not impossible.
