Besides, more like my hourly rate is high enough.

I love giving people going into business for themselves for the first time a good deal. Always have. Always will.

My FIL dragged me to a seminar early in my marriage. ugh.

Bob Brown was there.

He said if getting rich is all you want, you'll make money, but won't last.
If you want to last in business, give people a great product at a fair price.

That stuck to my ribs. It's been 28 years this month. I have artwork in other states, my artwork hangs in people's homes, plus murals for major corporations. I've never spent a dime on advertising and have repeat clients. I haven't had to look for work for quite some time. I have nothing to prove to myself or to you.

In the end, being happy is all that matters.

You do it your way, and I'll do it mine.

Seems like this is apples & oranges.

The vast majority of people are working for retirement, and a good portion of those are working to pay for their kids.

Most people don't want to be in IT or managing people or whatever until they're 90... they want all the raises and all the money so they can get out of that shit and do stuff like, uh, learn to be an artist.

I could be totally wrong, but I'd imagine the closer you are to monetizing a true passion, the less concerned you are with a date and time to stop doing that thing... so, assuming they're focused on maximizing profits at all costs is probably off base by a fair amount.
