(Yes I'm a windsurfer but that's not the point. It's just as hilarious if you interchange kitesurfing for windsurfing)
Oh, and there's a lot more where that came from.

I suppose you're tongue in cheek.
But just in case you're not...
Very many people I talk to enjoy kitesurfing because it's less work.
(As one once said: `at last a sport where I don't need to work hard").
And that's very fine, but few business really take off with 'control' alone - usually requires
a LOT of hard work, at least until you get going and get successful.
Another difference is that at kiting (and windsurfing), persevere long enough and you'll get it - guaranteed.
Whereas in business, few are guaranteed to succeed just by perseverance alone.
Perhaps 15% make it to the first year..
Are you sure you agree with the analogy ?
Sorry, I should have been clearer.
No, I really do not agree with this analogy.
Everything about this is so astonishingly bad that I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to offer a critique because I'm laughing so hard.
How about we substitute kites and kiting with cars and driving? I have control of the car, I can control my life. I use the accelerator, brakes and the steering wheel, I am a leader!

Exactly.
I've been trying to come up with a worse analogy to demonstrate how bad the analogy is, and I am seriously struggling.

I think the author has done extremely well.... He got me to read this crapola...
Oh and everyone knows that kiting takes way more business like skills than windsurfing.....
