Good article and a bit of a wakeup call to many.
The fact is it is darn hard to make money...and even harder to set up a successful, profitable business. I have to agree with greyman - not everyone is suited to it - they are better off getting a job.
There are far too many people who go out, set up a Wordpress blog, write a few crummy articles and then say - "can I earn $40k a month now please?". They seem almost shocked that they suddenly didn't make a million bucks overnight. Get real people - there is no easy way to make money!
I would have to blame Steve P a little for this - because to a certain extent - and not intentionally - he has given a lot of people false hope, as they believed they could just "manifest" a million bucks from the comfort of their TV room armchair - I think in this article he corrects that misconception and I think quite a lot of people are going to be shocked by this article - it is going to be a slap in the face for them. After all this IS supposed to be PD for "smart" people.
On the other hand it's always good to try things and even fail at them - you can learn a lot from your mistakes and you can always move on and try something else. I hope people will get a grip and realize that there is no easy way to become a millionaire - you need a lot of hard work, intelligence and some luck to do it.
