Best comment I've ever read here.
- gargarplex 12y agoI feel like I'd rather read advice from someone who actually has become a millionaire in 3 years.
- enraged_camel 12y agoHow do you know he hasn't?

- 0xdeadbeefbabe 12y agoNot me. The chances are too high that they'll confidently say all the wrong things, and too many things too.
- bhayden 12y agoI don't think this is very useful. There are a lot of opinions here and I could guarantee there's plenty of successful people who would advocate the opposite. The real useful advice here can be summarized: * Look in obscure places * Productize a service * Stick with it
- eli 12y agoI think the point isn't so much "obscure" places as it is "unsexy". As a trivial example, developers who set out to work on payroll register software tend to make more money than those who set out to build video games.
- halayli 12y agoYour cynicism will not get you too far. The comment is incredibly insightful and clearly based on experience.
- 31reasons 12y agoStarting a successful small business like a restaurant can make you a millionaire too. Starting a startup has the least possibility of making you a millionaire.
