I dunno, I've had a pretty successful business going since '75 and I hardly fall into any of those 31 points. Especially the money part, I never cared about the money side of it and still really don't. I always just cared about doing a good job and enjoying what I do, it was just nice that people wanted to pay me for my work.
But what do I know.

"You’re cocky and full of yourself
But that’s good, because most people are afraid to run a business. "
"A lot of people are scared of technology
But if you’re reading this, you probably embrace it. "
"You probably love technology a bit too much
Did you wait in line for an iPhone? it’s for business, after all. "
"You have a mess of papers all over your desk
It’s ok, they aren’t important. What’s important is that you keep focused on that new idea you just had. "
Thanks jd I needed that.

Based on #1, he probably should have paid a little more attention in school.

I caught that as well. I think that the overall message was great, although there was that mistake.

Funny that some idiot cold-calling from a marketing company would call while reading rsponding to this.
I gave the guy three chances to tell me who he was and what he was selling.
He wouldn't do it. (plus it sounded like he had liquid lunch).
"I want to set up a meeting to discuss that".
Three times I asked him what company he was working for and what he was selling.
If YOU call ME and you can't answer my question(s) straight up you get no more of my time.
None. Zilch.
Do these idiots really think if they can't get their foot in the door and waste my time on the phone they're going to waste time in my office ?
