Ok so I wanted to bring up something that happens a lot to me and I wanted to know if it happens to you guys too. There are times I might be sipping a beer with a friend or family member and we get chatting about things and I mention my entrepreneurial goals and it is obvious that I am looking to earn a lot of money.
I get a lot of comments similar to "I don't aspire to have a lot of money, I just want to pay my bills."
They sort of act like having a lot of money is a bad thing. Unfortunately it's quite rampant in my family circle. Not so much my friends. My wife likes the idea of a lot of money so that is good but I get comments like, "Well you should aspire to have a good work ethic and live comfortably, but you don't want to be rich."
Oh I don't? Really? Why is that?
