Great point r2dnb. This used to be my mentality as well and it hurt me.

I was looking for a "smart" business that was "worthy" of me. How could these people spend so much time on such an indefensible & unscalable process?!

Well, the joke was on me. My brother stopped consuming info and started Amazon FBA. And he does really well (full-time job replacement). Instead of waiting for the perfect idea - he executed.

Now I'm happily off my high horse and trying to follow in his footsteps.

Lesson learned - there is no perfect business. Get started with something simple and build from there.

Great article on this incremental approach for anyone interested: http://www.softwarebyrob.com/2015/03/26/the-stairstep-approa...
