Great post, I also think real success revolves around business plans rather than methods.
I've spoken to some guys who are like "yeah, i am aiming for the long term' and I'm like "ok, so what is your 5 year business plan? 10 year business plan?" and they are like "umm, idk"... 5-10 years is mid-term.. Build a name for your business, build a sustainable business model, pay your taxes, be a real entrepreneur.
