It makes me sad because it shows a complete lack of understanding for the struggle that it is to create a business.  For every person who supports what you are doing when starting a business from scratch, you can find a half dozen who are not helpful at all, who doubt what you are doing, who think you will fail and aren’t afraid to tell you that.  Sure there are great teachers, but there are also bad teachers.  Yes, there are roads, but there is also tremendous red tape and regulations to deal with.  By far, the most frequently asked questions I get at McStartup are not about business strategy, but are about startup regulations and law.  The current “infrastructure” is stacked AGAINST the entrepreneur.
