If you have a thing people want that you spent a decade making that isn't easily replicatable, the rest doesn't matter.

If you don't have that, the rest also doesn't matter. Unless you're obsessed with money, in which case, you are very confused and should not be guiding anybody to anything.

Guides regarding minutiae from lottery ticket winners are tiresome. I think anyone over 30 has learned what these 'guides' amount to from looking at Paul Graham.

That is oversimplifying it to the extreme.

Like the example with the doctors and how to find actually good ones, you can add this essay to the list of enterpreneurship tips you can compare and decide for yourself what is useful and what isn't.

Thank you. Before you said it, I didn't know what to do but now I know to compare and decide for myself what is useful and what isn't.

I hope my newfound way of life is not oversimpifying it to the extreme.
