I don't know how you can even consider talking like that when even children know you have to try before you can succeed.
I am a bit lazy and I'm glad. In the past it made me a good programmer. Many times instead of massaging data manually, I wrote code to do it for me. That helped make me a good programmer.
BTW, I'd much rather work smart than work hard. I see many fools run off half cocked because they're "hardworkers". If they would have a bit of laziness in them and take some time to think first, they would probably get farther. The point being a mix is best.
sounds to me like you are full of corny phrases that attempt to justify laziness. good luck finding an angel investor and dont show him this post of yours that i quoted.
I don't know of a public website that seeks angel investors. It's done by networking. To get your foot in the door you need a 7-figure networth, be investment savvy, and have to know the right people. One of my brokerages sends emails to accredited investors for investments that are not open to the general public. I also know a couple of people who are in the business of arranging private equity for small companies -- what you'd call angel investing. The deals I've seen and have had a chance to get in on are in the 7-figure range. I don't know how many investors join the pool, but there's usually a $100k-250k minimum per person or trust to join.
These are very risky investments. Don't think you'll get in on the next Facebook and make 3000% return. Also, the deals aren't what people might expect. One was for a 3-chain restaurant that wanted to expand statewide. Another was for a plastic surgeon who wanted to start a plastic surgery franchise chain (like Pearle Vision optometry franchise).
The most popular private investment pool I've seen are apartment/commercial rentals, where people come together to buy a $3-10MM apartment or retail plaza. But this isn't angel investing per se
