Or, they don't want more competition. Or, are too busy to post. Or, see no value in posting their success/failures.

If your whole idea is to not do what other people failed at, you are already chopping yourself off at the knee. Just because another guy failed doing XYZ, doesn't mean you will fail doing XYZ. Most people have severe issues with execution and proper planning. XYZ could work perfectly fine if planned and executed properly.

I work 3 different business models, successfully. According to GFY, none of these business models work. I can also think of multiple business models that I was not successful at, but I have friends that were/are successful at.

What's the point of this thread? For everyone to verify that their failures were not really their fault, but the business model itself?

You will learn more studying success than failure.
