Reminds me of the book "The E-Myth: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work".

Just because you are a good engineer, does not mean you are a good entrepreneur. Most engineers think it's just about building a good product. This is not true.




It actually is entirely about building a good product if by good product you mean something people want.


Building a good product will get you a pat on the back. What you need is a good product + leverage. http://paulgraham.com/wealth.html


You are proving my point


If no one links to your good product, it's not in the webgraph.


If your product makes money that is irrelevant.
