but so often in business those who succeed are those who don’t need to live off profits for years.
Definitely. It sucks for that it is the case. Sometimes I think about the artists that live on couches and in cars to have the opportunity to live off their craft. I know entrepreneurs worth 8 figures who washed windows and drove taxis while building tech and building companies. I think while one begets money, there is an art in being able to create space.
