good replies so far, said most of what i wanted to say in some shape or form.
Spidey, what it comes down to is the entrepreniural/business owner title has been tarnished by every tom dick and harry running a hobby side business only grossing 10k a year, or an unsuccessful business attempt by a slow laner thinking they can do it better then their boss, when they only really possess the skill to do the service that the business revolves around, not run the business. With some it still holds repoire though. Most have preconceived notions of what being a business owner is, and that is, listening to other business owners who dont know what their are doing and struggling at it. Remember misery loves company. That bank manager hates his job, hence his pitiful small talk attempt with you.
You work 20 hours a week. You make $80,000 a year, with instantaneous potential to make more. Most people dream about this all day long. You really want to impress people tell them that. I am a contract freelance writer. Oh yeah so what do you do? I write for magazines 20 hours a week, and make more than average for people of my age. WOW. really?!
Not all Fast laners need Ferarris or Lambos (as sweet as they are). I would rather have a Cessna hidden away in my hanger i fly up to my lake cabin that noone besides my immediate family knows about. Or i would rather have 100 properties that noone knows about. Being flashy can be fun for the immediate attention, but causes severe envy with a lot of people, which is fueled by their own inadequacies.
Bottom line is this. Remind yourself of this. What other people think, doesnt matter. What makes you happy is what matters. You live a very blessed work and financial life, many people would kill to work 20 and make 80. They spend their whole lives dreaming it.
The only thing i think you need to work on here, is to figure out how to make $80 or more, and work less than 20hrs while doing it.
PS. dont go buy a porsche or any other large debt. keep doing what your doing and buy it straight cash. thats the REAL way to do it.
