It's not a dichotomy, it was a generalization and certainly there are exceptions. My point wasn't that it's impossible to change the world with a balanced lifestyle (Reagan famously stopped work at 5 at the White House and he certainly made a dent in the world). My point was that some people love to be monomaniacal and throw themselves at huge problems (or huge risk)-- just because that's not your bag doesn't mean it's the wrong choice.

MOST of what people would characterize as "lifestyle businesses" are owned by people who have other priorities. And if the mega-risk startup junkies look down their noses at that, it's their fault-- not yours.
