Amen. What if I don’t wanna be the boss. What if I want to be the #2, or #3, or #5 or #6. What if I just wanna be on the ground floor, work my ass off without the distractions of running the actual business, and add value? That’s where I’m happiest. If riches come our way so be it.
I’d much rather have been one of the first employees of Google, than the founders.
If I beat the 1 in 1million odds and join a unicorn as a founding employee, I don’t care if the founders get hundreds of millions. That’s fine. Give me 10mil and I’ll be happy the rest of my life.
But point being, everyone has their definition of success. For some of us it’s not fame and riches. It’s sustainable comfort. That’s what I’m shooting for.
