Your best bet is to train in a skill that will give you a real job. Then do the online thing on the side. Only a very small number of guys here make an online living. Most businesses don't pan out, on or offline. Also, having a real skillset will give you insight into ways to make money online.
Seriously, stop wasting time and train for a real job. The sooner that you get started, the better off that you will be.
What do you mean, by train for a real job? So then, what is he doing now?
The only way for true liberation, is to run your own business. Working for someone else is a mugs game (unless you like it). Do something on the side, work it like it was all you've got and when it builds up to a certain point where it makes more than your normal 9-5, then jump on board and ride away, bebeeeeee
If you read closely, according to him, he's close to going broke. It sounds like he's in a low skill position where he doesn't make much. Probably entry level. That's not a career. (real job). If he was just running a 'PUA Company' recently, I guarantee he doesn't have a real career yet. Especially given that he has time to fantasize about being a 4-hour workweek type of guy. He should be training or in school.
Also, Moma, despite popular opinion, it generally takes a prior skill-set to capitalize on a profitable niche to lead the lifestyle that he dreams of. Due to the nature of markets and competition, businesses with low barriers to entry, or that are based on easily attained knowledge, are going to either have extremely thin profits or are going to be non-starters.
So, have you achieved this liberation in running your own business? It sounds like you are pretty convinced of your advice. Have you run one business that would enable you to say that your advice is a good risk for this guy who is so obviously lost and without a real competitive edge in anything?
