This isn't directed at anyone in specific, but I see threads that say "I'll make this much in this amount of time". It got me thinking. Why set a goal like that? I mean, why not have the goal - Within 5 years, run a successful company -

Look at the difference like this

- Acquire your set amount of money in the time frame you've aimed for, with a broken / rushed company, or hell - even illegally
- Take a longer time time build your company, make it fully functionally , nearly flawless masterpiece, and then achieve your set amount.

Anyone see what I'm saying? That sometimes "X amount in X time" isn't really equal to building a stable company and let it naturally progress over the course of time?
