Although these start up blogs are useful, you must not forget that each path is different, and what worked for them may not work for you. It’s always better to have a mentor who can guide you along the right path, and as Malcolm Gladwell would say, also wait for the element of luck that is needed to make your startup an success.

I’m allergic to eggs, nuts, peanuts, and tree nuts and I’ve never heard of this. I’d say it isn’t true because once you eat a food your allergic to it makes you feel so uncomfortable and bad that you’d never want to feel that way again. For example once I ate once of those really big Laffy Taffy and who knew those have eggs in them and the little ones don’t. Anyway my throat swelled up and it was difficult to breathe. I don’t think I’d become addicted to something that makes me feel that awful.

All of those statements, and similar, are just completely wrong.
