    Don't get discouraged!

    Just because I tell you your idea sucks and you are an idiot doesn't mean you should stop trying. Each of us has to face the fact that 99.99% of our ideas are not original. We have to face the fact that 99.99% of our ideas are not going to change the world or a single market. We have to face the fact that 95% of us will have a business that fails.

    A true entrepreneur knows this and understands this. They try to make their living in the 99.99% of the world where all you need to do is be a little smarter... a little better then your competition. All of you young kids on here are trying to be the 0.01% and you wonder why none of you make any money. I'm telling you its OK to try for that 0.01% but you have to realize that is not where any of you will end up.

    There is a lot of money to be made in the 99.99% of the world. I'm talking millions of dollars a year if you dedicate yourself to your efforts. Stop trying to only reinvent the wheel. You'll be happier if you listen... if you don't... well then expect me to tell you that you're an idiot when you are! I'll also hopefully someday be able to tell someone they have an amazing original idea... it has only happened a few times on this site...

    Till then Happy Holidays to all you FN Idiots!!!

    I work in an industry that is fierce with competition. Probably 2% of those who enter actually make it, but those who do make it will make as much money as they desire.

    Starting off I would go door to door soliciting businesses trying to stir up some deals. Out of 50 doors I would "possibly" get 1 deal.

    I realized what I was doing was what every other guy in the industry was doing. I learned to be different and by trial and error I found what worked and created more deals.

    So, just because you can not come up with a revolutionary idea doesn't mean you can't succeed in an already competitive industry.

    Learn to be different. Learn what works. Watch the money pile up.

    I love this post. lol

    Seriously though, Roger, and everyone else here at YE will tell you that your idea sucks for a reason. We aren't doing it to be ass holes; it's to help improve your business and help make you more successful. We'd rather be blunt and tell you your idea sucks than sit here and watch it fail.
