The advice (in the post you're replying to) isn't bad. But you can do it all, and still not have lightning strike.

- f1shy 2y agoI certainly do not think is good. I won’t say I’ve seen destroyed lives because of it, but pretty much miserable in comparison to what it had been if not followed the advice. It is just bot for anyone, and just too often fails.
- flir 2y agoAnd I've seen people succeed (admittedly by spending every spare minute devoting themselves to the pursuit of money). Can we agree that it is, at core, gambling? Like spending all your disposable income on lottery tickets?

- flir 2y agoIt was for him. It wouldn't have been for me, hence the caveat. Different people have different goals.
- latexr 2y ago> Can we agree that it is, at core, gambling? Like spending all your disposable income on lottery tickets? Yes. Can we also agree that advising people to spend all of their disposable income on gambling is bad advice to make money? I think you’re agreeing with the post you replied to.
- flir 2y agoI think, if someone's going to gamble anyway, gambling competently is better than gambling poorly. (Am I stretching this analogy too far?) Entrepreneurship may not be for you (or me), but there are people who find it a deeply satisfying path to walk. If they're going to do that, they should at least do it with the best possible odds of success.
- latexr 2y ago> The advice (in the post you're replying to) isn't bad. I didn’t call it bad, I called it bland, generic, and worthless. Like telling people they should eat healthily and exercise. It’s not wrong or bad, but it’s also not something you haven’t heard hundreds of times before and doesn’t really help you much.
