I can certainly see the ideological direction you're coming from. I'll just say this: there is honor in pushing yourself through hard work and long hours to build a business - and in almost every case, the act of building the business is not an end unto itself. The promise of material gain, and other 'superficial' outcomes is a major driver. There is no shame in that.
