Opposite for me..bar was set pretty high...OTOH, I've been self employed now for twenty years, and the perks that come with that are pretty sweet, but nowhere near what she accomplished.
When I look back now, it's impressive the drive she had, raising a son by herself in the 60's.
Love my mom and the example of work ethic she put forth, but she's even a better person.
