So true, but, when are you gonna do yours? Beat them at their own game. I'm writing a Sci-Fi book that will be a smash hit, and probably made into a film. Longer road to riches, and I'll probably be dead before getting as much as I need to move to where I want to be, but at least it is honest.

That was why Nick Parks made his characters and wrote his scripts and filmed everything himself, with the help of his friends and colleagues. Three:- A script, by itself, will be destroyed in very short order by the accountants and owners of the big companies. I will release the book and then will see what is to happen next.

@@jonathanmarkham1998 You flatter me. I first used the term about 7 years ago in reaction to what I perceived in the mental health system. A play on toxic masculinity.

[@ChrispyNut]

​@@jonathanmarkham1998 It is a fairly new term, but they didn't come up with it. Look it up, there are videos on it. If you look into it, you may well realise it is a thing and it is pretty toxic. In fact, as a Stockport supporter, you should absolutely understand.

[@JohnPreston888]

"Toxic positivity". Not heard that before. I like it as withering criticism. (Similar to "Bro Science" in the Gym, and "Mindset Bro" - another M. Spicer label, and the title of this particular Michael Spicer gem). I will use it, and credit you.

I found that podcast just made me feel shit and uninspired. Makes it seem like if you're not hustling for 20 hours a day, you won't make it - and then once they've achieved their dreams and they're multi-millionaires in their 30s, they realise they're not 100% happy and have the luxury to take a step back and relax.

[@brianthesnail3815]

That comment about being given '£20 million on your 18th birthday' is very observant. So many so called entrepreneurs and 'tech bros' that the media celebrate are actually coming from very privileged backgrounds and the big issue is they can afford to not work for three years and drop £1 million into a venture that fails and still have £18 million left and have had a nice life for three years. Kids from poor backgrounds cant do that and so never get the chance. They have to get a job.

[@Robutube1]

For me it's more that they are told from a young age, and can in very real terms, afford to fail. People from poorer backgrounds don't usually dare risk 'putting it all on red'.

We're currently reading "The Innovator's Method" at our company book club.

She just bought the stuff herself, sold it to her friends, got a leading person in the industry to introduce her to people, and used unpaid interns!" 👏👏👏 And yes, I know I'm being snarky and books like this might encourage risk-taking in a rigid corporate environment - but it's definitely not very viable for the average Tom, Dick or Harry.

I took that, and bought two old Ford Cortinas. Took me a month and £200 of parts, but I got them into a state where I could sell them for £600 each. With a couple of months hard work, I'd turned my £50 into £1200. Then my wife's father died and left her £20 million.
