Interesting article and impressive to see that kind of tenacity. Truly that's a take-away from the full perspective. The other take aways, for me, aren't nearly as complimentary.
1. Want to make a lot of money? Find an out-dated system where grunt labor is worth a lot less than the technology the grunt labor uses, and target this gap mercilessly (call centers)
2. Act like every other shady, fly-by-night, asshole salesman and cold call people without a real product until some sucker from Provo, Utah cuts you a check ($40,000 should be a good amount)
3. Aim to arbitrage a stale technology like long-distance phone calls before any of the competition, pretend getting lucky in such an opportunity is a validation of tenacity ("blieve in yourself" is trite because it's trite)
>Believe that even if you do something stupid like quit your job without a clue, somehow you’re going to figure it out.
...or, you can study up on something called "survivorship bias" and realize most of the "wisdom" in the article is utterly useless.
