And with all his business skills, could he of started in 2008 and rose the same way?

It takes far more then business skills to rise in an established industry. You need raw talent, money, backing and a variety of skills.

Could Larry Page and Sergey Brin build a successful SE today?
Could Mark Zuckerberg build a successful social Network today?
Could Manwin become the success they are today, without a massive amount of money?

No, no and no.

Can a newbie rise to a $120,000 income today without something very special to offer that's not done by 10,000 others?

Could I become a successful shooter, starting with the budget and skills I had in 1977? Not a chance.



If you see who the haters are, you understand why many of them hate me.
You know so little about me and yet love to drop my name every chance you get. I started a new site in 2008-2009 in a new market i was completely clueless about. Invested newbie type money in the site and still despite that within 2 years that site was a market leader and making crazy money.
