Like I know a guy who kills it in online retail for Amazon.
He doesn't own or produce anything. He is just a re-seller of goods, has great items he selected to market and sell. He does not share what those items are, his marketing strategy, or even the name of his store with anyone. He does not want competition.
I've never asked him for help or information on it, because he is just an acquaintance. He owes me fuckall. He does not owe me the creation of competition against his own business.
What a bunch of fucking shameless losers there are in 2017. Try befriending or offering someone ANYTHING of value before you go demanding they write their success playbook for you.
I'll never stop wishing I knew the intricate details of his retail business. But I will never ask because I adhere to social norms and have a sense of decency. I'd never cross that line.

Basic decency is the over arcing issue. We've been conditioned that moneh equals everything, but that diminishes the tool function of money as a thing. So what people are asking when they ask about money is what do you have in your tool shed. People don't understand that because money is a tool, it takes skill, talent to utilize that tool efficiently. Most people, now, don't utilize money efficiently and couldn't fathom what 2k gallons of liquid will do at 5psi. Pythagoras and Diogenes of Sinope are afterthoughts yet the Platonics are grasping at every inch of straw.
