Working hard is for suckers. Look at cats and hot chicks - they don't work at all and yet they find people to bust their rear ends to provide food and housing for them. Hard work is for amateurs and suckers. Pros are in it for the money. The best thing to do is to find some suckers and convince them you have a secret magical system that helps their hard work translate into success. But first they have to subscribe for $199/month. And you'll automatically rebill their cards unless they send you a letter written backwards in mandarin chinese which replaces every 7th word with every fourth. Then just sit back and do nothing and you'll get rich. Either that or convince them of some impending doom that only you know how to escape ... provided of course that they will demonstrate their worthiness by parting with their material goods - which of course you'll safekeep for them.

(you're probably just being sarcastic but) no offense, being a successful shyster takes a lot of hard work and planning too... the only difference is that it's a lot more exciting for certain people/scum. which brings me to another point: hard work doesn't feel like hard work if it's your passion "Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted."

  You have a good point about hard work and passion. You have also just provided one of the best quotes in Fight Club. Good job!

Just to nitpick, cats work hard too. Cats tend to be more nocturnal creatures. If you let them out at night, they'll spend that time hunting for food (if they were taught that by their mother) and defending what they view as their property. During the day they mostly sleep, which is why people think they're lazy. Actually, their schedule is more aligned with that of startup hackers: work during the night, sleep during the day.

While I think some of these people can provide valuable services without being a shyster, there is definitely that element floating around the web, especially the "Internet Marketing" space. (and the JohnChow.com crowd) I do find it hilarious though that many of these internet marketing nerds make hundreds of thousands a month while many Web 2.0 companies spend millions and can barely bring in a few thousand in revenues.
