The ability to identify opportunities, sell people on working with you, risk manage, and pure grunt work (talking with lawyers, etc.), moving fast, are just a few of the skills required in business that were all applicable here.
Automating trades with python might be more relatable for you. But the point is, it's not just technical skills like that that "translate to a viable business."
- sodafountan 8y agoThose are fair points but you didn't mention any of that in the article and if you're trying to posit this as a self-help article and not some sort of shameless self-promotion piece then why should I care? Why wasn't this article more about The ability to identify opportunities, sell people on working with you, risk manage, pure grunt work (talking with lawyers, etc.), and moving fast? I didn't get any of that from the article.
- leinad520 8y agoWho said this was a self-help article? The title is what it says. It's an interesting story that people found inspirational / fun to read. And sure, to use your words, it was self-promotion. But why is that bad? Regardless of your opinion of them as people, Steve Jobs did "shameless" promotion of iPhones, and Donald Trump did so with his brand. And if people found the information valuable, that's all that matters! Not sure where your preconception that this must be a self-help article is coming from.
