And people whose goals are to become rich rarely have the intrinsic motivation to ever create anything worthy of market success. Money isn't everything; it's a pretty weak motivator in the grand scheme of things. Yes, the uber-wealthy use money to keep score, but make no mistake, all self-made billionaires have deeper motivations that drove them to success.
- willio58 3y agoTotally agree. I've known startup owners who were all-in on their companies. All-in to a degree that they sacrificed time with their family and friends regularly just to grow the business. I always wonder what the end goal is there. Okay, you have a successful business, woohoo! But your kids hate you, your wife divorced you, and the "friends" you have left are trying to get to your money. Money beyond a certain amount simply does not buy happiness. Of course, that's not all startup founders, but so many of them (especially the ones that are obsessed with money for the sake of money) do end up that way.
