This is a great idea for a poll, but I think it is self selecting away from reality. As of 4:19 EST there are 12 votes for items where someone reached "ramen profitability", 3 for "Never", and 11 for "Hopefully soon(also never)". So that means 12/26, or 46% of respondents have reached some level of profitability. This seems high to me.

I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or inspired as I'm still in the Never category, but will back in "Hopefully soon" before long.



So that means 12/26, or 46% of respondents have reached some level of profitability. This seems high to me.

Yet again I boggle at the notion of an environment in which 46% of businesses turning a profit seems unreasonably high.


Just updating the numbers, as of 6:52pm EST 41/95 (43%) actually reached "ramen profitability"
