Wow Dubstepped, Epic post and great answers everyone. Same here, business owner. Was criticized one morning after having made time to go to the book study how I was trying to achieve financial independence, in front of the whole group. I retorted that I like to pay my bills. The look on the book study conductor ( the one who fired off the insult ) was priceless as we say ! Oh the same guy blasted me for buying a nice cnc machining center that gave us the capacity to do some special work that put our company on the map. Small mindedness, but then again nothing is too good for the GB retirement compound ! Had I of known then what I now..
I escaped the Borg by the skin of my teeth due to the fact that I'm a workaholic and don't know any other way to be. I almost gave up and sold all at one point is the extent of the fight that was going on in my head. Common sense and medication prevailed, seriously it got that bad.
