That's the first thing people say when people here about somebody being in the industry for a while is looking for work. It doesn't make sense to me.

Alot of people who are successful at doing something can make enough to turn it into a full time job. Then how are they to turn it into something very profitable without extra capital? If they don't have savings, then they can't take their idea further. So why does somebody being good at something have to translate into being successful? If you don't have money of your own to invest into something, most of the time, that project will slowly die down.

You have to take into account, everything you bring in isn't a profit. It generally goes to business costs, then bills and living. Until you exceed maybe 4-5k/month. Then you can start taking it to another level by reinvesting.

All it means is he hasn't been able to reach those numbers on his own. And he's not seeking capital to do it himself, instead he's going with another company.

Some people choose to work with companies. You don't think they are ever going to be inbetween jobs?
