What that does not kill you makes you stronger. No product + Sales = company. Product + no Sales = No company. It's only money, you have your health, your wife

It's only money, you have your health, your wife and 3 wonderful children, plus a beautiful promise underway. You can start the next one, loosing the stupid, with less than 100$ these days. A days worth of pay saved at the local burger shop. Pick the parts up and charge ahead. Just remember, no sales, no company. Dont buy the coolaid, fight hard for one thing: sales where sales = cost + profit. En-route entrepeneurs on HN should be following a SalesAndMarketingStarNews.yc.com aggregator if one existed. But if it existed it would most likely filed with BS...
Angel money or VC is not an enabler; it's profits that are. Profits attract all sorts of good things.
Good luck. If you are an true entrepeneur this will resonate. If it does not, get the best job you can get at moment's notice, and immediately start looking for the next one up the latter.
Cheers and good luck! And remember the one infinitely valuable thing you have: time.
- ceejayoz 13y agoWhat schlock. Many things that don't kill you can make you weaker - try quadriplegia on for size. Health is closely tied to money and employment in the US. Someone working at "the local burger shop" with three kids can't spare a day's pay - and $100/day is pretty unlikely take-home pay for minimum wage, anyways.
- headgasket 13y agoIt was figurative. Thx for the downvote tho. My point was this guy has something he can sell for recurrent revenue with profits. That's a company. It can be as simple as consulting. A job or a self generated job with upside, what's better? Good luck to you too.
