Comments on: From Shanghai to Silicon Valley: 3 Tips for Turning Lack of Resources into Strength http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/01/06/from-shanghai-to-silicon-valley-3-tips-for-turning-lack-of-resources-into-strength/ Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Workweek and Lifestyle Design Blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:39:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: EmitBrown http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/01/06/from-shanghai-to-silicon-valley-3-tips-for-turning-lack-of-resources-into-strength/comment-page-1/#comment-87427 EmitBrown Wed, 19 Jan 2011 08:45:23 +0000 http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/01/06/from-shanghai-to-silicon-valley-3-tips-for-turning-lack-of-resources-into-strength/#comment-87427 To paraphrase: For all the bitching people do about ambigous "things" "keepin' a man down"; most people can't even identify what it is their being held from. I believe this blog post addresses the critical thinking aspects of running any venture and hits the nail on the head. That being, the ability to sort out symptoms from sickness. Capital can be a remedy but lack of structure and bad deployment makes it a temporary fix. With enough explosives you could put an icecream truck into orbit... but a well designed rocket generally works better.

I am on the fourth chapter right now and can hardly put it down. I currently have four different websites and with the exception of my blogs, the other two have been created with open source software on a very frugal budget. Your book and this blog is giving me the information I need to take my business to the next level. I will be back checking here daily. Thank you so much!
