I went through a nearly identical phase as the author. Obsessive reading, hours in the library, ordering everything related to business, becoming a Kaiser & Blair rep when I was 17. A blur of success and failure.
But always moving forward.
After thinking about it plenty, I think it boils down to this: some folks just weren't born with the fire. Often, this fire looks a lot like insanity.
Your a genius if you succeed, and an idiot if you don't.
I play with fire because it makes me feel good, plain and simple. I hack because I love it. I sell my own software because I love marketing, too.
And everyday, I'm confident that if I give folks enough value, in one way or another, they will give me enough money to eat. And my devious little plan hasn't failed me yet!
