Something new occured to @Antifragile and myself recently in private discussions that I decided to highlight.

While at the forum, we are considered among the forum's "heavy hitters," we are "legendary contributors" all that stuff.

While we have both contributed a lot of, hopefully helpful and sometimes funny, stuff over the years, in the real world we are normal entrepreneurs. NORMAL.

Yes, NORMAL entrepreneurs build deca and pentamillion dollar real estate developments. Yes, NORMAL entrepreneurs build chemical companies that supply fortune 500 companies.

On the fastlane forum, we are the sharks, and in real life we are guppies. Let that sink in.

This is not because we are different here than in the real world. This is because the real world is FULL of big players and we both know it. You should know it too.

Every business you see, everywhere, had a start with an entrepreneur. There's at least one very wealthy entrepreneur behind every medium to large company in existence.

My point is, if you think this is rare, look around. Large scale entrepreneurshup is actually incredibly common.

If you think I'm a heavy hitter... Raise your expectations.
