I read one of the comments saying “everybody looking forward making a ton of cash”… To me, and many others, that’s the wrong spirit. Spammers are looking to make a ton of cash, easily and quickly. Steve Jobs was looking to change the world of computing as it was known then.

Passion and, as Guy Kawasaki calls it, wanting to “make meaning”, are the true pushing factors towards changing the world, and eventually making a ton of cash. But if you don’t, you will at least have improved the life of some people out there, or tried.

Following the smell of money just brings you spammers, scammers, and other rubbish like Kevin Medina.

Couldn't it be great if you directly talk about what to do exactly in term of making you succeed? It's so easy to say don't do this or that. We probably all know about what to not to do, but the difficulties are really what to do. Yes in fact, we do the wrong thing only during the quest of a right thing.</p> The article is great, but why everyone keeps talking about how to fell?

So many of us have these big ideas and grand expectations of quitting our jobs and making a ton of cash like that other guy did last month but are not in touch with the realities of what to expect and how to plan for the journey to success. You guys have given us the reality check, as well as the inspiration needed to approach it from a balanced perspective.</p> very valuable advice for the start-up wanna-bees out there, including myself.
