'The two charts above graphically illustrate the danger of cumulative graphs. Total messages is a nice graph to look at and share with people because unless the business is literally dead it is always moving up and to the right. This is what makes it a vanity metric. But it’s dangerous because it makes it hard to see what’s going on in the business.

Being an entrepreneur is not “so easy anyone can do it” nor is it a ticket to “get rich quick in your spare time.” If you want to become an entrepreneur for the money, or because it seems easier than getting (or staying in) a job, skip it. Successful entrepreneurs do it because they have to.
