I didn't mean for it to come off as marketing for Ramit. He has written some good stuff and I got something out of it, so I thought I would share to "pay it forward" so to speak to other people.
While I specifically was writing about Silicon Valley, I think many of the lessons could be applied to other cities and other industries. If you can build your startup in Chicago and can be successful, like Groupon or 37signals, I applaud that as well!
- billpatrianakos 15y agoWell then I stand corrected. I trust you're not a paid shill for Ramit so I'm not so concerned about the marketing anymore. Like I said, I like Ramit, I'm a subscriber, and I once had a brief back and forth exchange with him over email. He's a nice guy. I get that you were speaking specifically about Silicon Valley. My criticism has more to do with the general trend I see of people advocating that you should rush out to SV and try to strike it rich in Startupland. This post just got me thinking of that so please don't think I was being critical of you. I was just reminded of something related and was speaking about that. The Ramit thing was critical of you but I trust you're sincere so, like I said, I stand corrected on that point.
