I am making this thread to let out my anger on most business books:headbanger:

What I HATE is books that don't tell you anything related to business. They will tell you that you can become rich, promise you will be able to do it if you just believe!

Well guess what thats all BS there I said said:cool:

They can fill the market for motivational books, but when it comes to actual material they won't tell you anything useful.

I KNOW WHAT MANY OF YOU ARE THINKING "BEN, WHY DON"T YOU STOP READING BOOKS AND GO FIGURE THINGS OUT FOR YOURSELF!!"

That's exactly what I'm talking about, why do they even have these books on how to start a small business when most of them only achieve one purpose and that is feeding you with the hope that you'll be successful

In the process of writing this little rant I came up with an idea:hurray:

Since this forum is about sharing
AND
Sharing is caring

I WILL SHARE WITH YOU MY IDEA

Make a site where you must pay to join and it's dedicated to pairing mentors with members.

Like this site, but try to fill every market.

Well theres my rant:rockon:
