      Everything you want to achieve in life requires you to get used to its opposite If you want to be smart, you have to get used to feeling dumb If you want to be strong, you have to get used to feeling weak If you want to be wealthy, you have to get used to feeling poor

      I disagree with the last one. The millionaire-next-door low end of getting rich may feel like that, but getting really rich feels like making something users love.

          The way to reconcile those two POV would be that if you are singularly focused on making a great product: - you be preoccupied with quick $$$ (running away from feels of poor) - you put your resources into product. Origin stories sound kinda like feeling poor.

          The problem with that is different wealthy people have different definitions of "users"

          @paulg What's your view on this business model of getting some products manufactured from good supplier,branding it and then selling them online using our brand and using software like shopify?(For example coffee cups etc)

          Good point. And “making something users love” means you got a little humble (“poor”) so you could ‘see’ them. But people also ‘see’ opportunity in throwing red meat to the inner beast in us all.
