I have created a good growing company that leaves me financially independent anyway - on a monthly basis at least - and I can continue to do other things also. I think this attitude of short-term gain misses out that success is a journey and not a destination. Your motivation still IS money - most of the successful people I know achieved the money because they loved what they are doing and the by-product was a financial reward
Because I'm interested in startups, in commerce and not everyone can run a company. I provide employment to people and a social responsibility via my own and my companies actions. That's just for starters!
right, but those are your interests. mine, for example, are completely opposite -- i want to stay home and play with theories
i agree that if you have nothing better to do, and you want to be one of those famous CEO's, then selling out early doesn't sound right. but some people do, in their definitions, have something better to do
it was a rhetorical question, it didn't occur to me that it would pertain directly to who i was responding to
my point is not everyone wants to accomplish the same things in life, but everyone needs money to be able to accomplish them (at minimum to pay the bills)
why would someone want to just get some money and be done with all the company stuff? because they have something better to do. maybe they want to visit every city in the world. maybe they want to raise their children full time and homeschool them. having money, they have those options
if you don't have something better to do (in your definition of 'something better',) then you are already doing what you think is best, and more power levels to you. may your hair glow yellow or gold at some point
