Entrepreneurs Create Value and Deserve Their Wealth
Making money ethically is one of the purest things you can do, because ethical money-making is about creating value in the world. Entrepreneurs create everything — from life-saving medicines to computers, chairs, and microphones that make everyday life better. The people who tell you that money is dirty are almost never the ones creating value; they're the parasites living off what producers build. Surround yourself with producers and distance yourself from people who don't create value. When your business is paying your bills, everyone assumes you're successful — your financial struggles become invisible to others, which is its own kind of isolation. Recognize that the money you make is proportional to the value you create, and that equation is worth defending.
