I often see the line between 'the next Google' and entrepreneur blurred here. Entrepreneur means you started something and you are taking the risks for it. If you make $500 or $5 billion with your company, doesn't make you less of a 'real entrepreneur'. If $500, in your country, is enough to pay everything and save money, that can make you a successful entrepreneur. This blogpost seems to be talking about the kind of disruptive, big and brass entrepreneurs again, while most entrepreneurs don't even want to be that. Those things are, indeed, 1 in a million. Just making enough to buy a sports car, big house and live a very comfortable life; not 1 in a million. Just hard work and not making too stupid mistakes.

I like what he says very much. Perhaps his title is a bit incendiary, but the principles he writes on are very lucid, and I found myself thinking hard about them. Excellent read.

Appreciate the kind words.

Took your suggestion to heart. No theatrics, sticking to the crux of the topic now. Edited accordingly :)

Update: The title read before "The Real Entrepreneur | Why most are simply Fake"
