Many individuals are mendacity. I personally know of SEVERAL entrepreneurs who’re point-blank mendacity about their revenues, however there are different methods to shade the reality: I could make $50mm however spend $70mm to get there. I can use a $225,000 launch month to assert I’ve a “2.7mm run charge.” Some personalities with 2+ million followers have low engagement. Or, like some individuals who lack ethics, you might rip off Ramit Sethi’s copywriting after which shut your online business and begin enjoying guitar for a dwelling. Most of those individuals are doomed — and it’s due to their poor ethics.

Some entrepreneurs are genuinely crushing it. I like seeing it. Try 

Be extraordinarily selective in who you comply with. And assume broadly: There are entrepreneurs who make $$$$ however I’ve zero admiration for them due to their political opinions (e.g., hateful feedback on immigrants). A profitable individual is greater than the cash of their account. The older I get, the extra I encompass myself with people who find themselves  beneficiant, thoughtful, and sincere.
