Yet there's a fundamental difference between "Having just enough for rent" and "Having just enough to start a company". There's something impoverishing to the spirit when you spend your last $5 and its still 1 week to payday. Its often not a choice to feel that way; its disingenuous to say "You could just invest like I did!"



So go out and make another $5. How you expect to make a 1MM if you can't even make $5. Thank you for reading it, and also stop making excuses. Everyone one else commenting please refer to this comment, thanks.


An entrepreneur at the end of their runway, facing the extinction of something they fought and struggled over, experiences depression, anxiety and regret. And gets sympathy for their plight.

A person who's life is made up of 'being at the end of their runway' is shamed for not just 'go out and make another $5'. Nothing disingenuous about this dichotomy?


A person's life is their responsibility. The only thing disingenuous is believing that is not so. A person brings shame upon themselves when they blame others for lack, instead of choosing to create for themselves.

Your fancy words conceal an illogicality of thought. Clear your thought, before you clothe it in fancy words, otherwise you get confused. Stopping making excuses and tolerating that from others, is the way of genuine concern for helping others improve.

Believing differently is your choice, and it won't work. Think more before you write more.

Your prose is clothed in finery that would make Louis XIV cringe.
