What a fatuous remark. My dad was a business failure, but he had the audacity to offer me advice, with confidence no less! I'll concede his advice, and good advice generally, isn't nearly as long-winded nor rife with platitudes as GP.

Sharing thoughts on the matter and asking questions is appreciated. Telling someone to quit their jobs and just grind it out through productivity and avoiding procrastination is bad advice.
my advice wasn't to quit his job. it was a facetious comment combatting the 'i don't have the motivation to work after my 9-5'.

you have to want to put in the work. if you don't want to, wait until a different time in the future where things are better and you can stomach spending a couple hours before or after work to build something.
