I mean one of the many reasons I ended up giving up my business was because the mindset I needed for it to succeed was pretty much the polar opposite of how I think and generally want to operate.
I think that a micro business can survive without too much maximizing mindset, but to grow past a certain point it becomes increasingly difficult and in the end, one starts to see everyone as a potential lveragable asset. I have seen it many times over the years, but it isn't my way.
