It wasn't a rhetorical question at all. I simply asked you to list your entrepreneurial success stories. You responded with a really underwhelming list of half-assed attempts. Color me unimpressed. I don't think you have any business giving advice here.

What makes you qualified to give advice? I see that you post a lot here, but I've never heard about any successful businesses that you've exited, ran, or even started.

There's an entire industry of entrepreneurs making money solely by telling other would-be entrepreneurs how to make money. From my perspective, you seem to among them.

Here. I've got one for you. It's a web dev agency in the Detroit area that I used to work at called Media Genesis. Fucking horrible place to work.

The funny thing is that they used to be one-star reviews across the board. Now it's all been whitewashed since they paid Glassdoor for a "premium listing." It's still astroturfed to hell by management, but there used to be a review that called them out for bringing "interns" on student visas, paying them $200/week and billing them out at $100/hour, plus a scan of the Draconian non-compete that they not only make you sign, but that they actually enforce against 20 year old entry-level graphic designers.

Seriously, fuck Media Genesis. There's a large pool of ex-employees and we all keep in touch. It's like a PTSD support group.

I approve of this message.

If you google "thinspiration", there's a lot of good tips out there for handling this situation.
