Copywriting proponents always talk about how it’s good for someone just starting out. I want to challenge them to find a single copywriter that went on to start a successful multimillion dollar unrelated company.
It’s a lie, distraction, and cop out. No one shows up to an entrepreneur forum with a modicum of ambition wishing they could be a keyboard ninja 18 hours a day.
The freelance cultist groupthink needs to stop. This is an entrepreneur forum and not a support group for struggling freelancers. We are here to actually thrive.
You might wonder why I’m so vehement about this lately. It pains me to see bad advice so freely flowing.
It’s time we take some ground back, as a forum, for true scalable and high value commerce. It is available to you even if you think it isn’t.
Edit: If you go through the thread there are several examples of entrepreneurs that started without being a freelancer first. I know because I posted three of them. Feel free to post your own examples. The point of this thread is to put on high display some alternative, and higher probability, starts that show it can be done. You don’t have to be a freelancer first or forever.
This thread is a reminder that entrepreneurs are people that think outside the box and are willing to face things that might be more difficult.
