I like the way you look at this, Steve. Building internet business, essentially, is no different than building offline business. You either provide real value and have USP or you don't. Most people are not unique and not even valuable (Frankly, it's hard to be really unique, but everyone can put in some effort to make a difference).

I still think that doing internet business is not for everyone. But because starting one is easy, everyone goes into it. That's why there is such a high percentage of people who fail online. It's reminds me of the software business in India - it became profitable, so everyone and his mom is a programmer there. Because of that 99% of the programmers are not good. Everyone should do what they are good and truly passionate about. Not what they think is easy and profitable.
