As a business owner, it’s a pretty significant part of my life but I don’t think my life revolves around it. Some people can be obsessive and focus on it 24/7 but others find balance. Sometimes it’s seasonal where you have to put more emphasis on the business than other times. But I do what I love as well.

Having said that I don’t think owning your own business is the only path for success (if you’re defining it simply by your bank account). I believe Dave Ramsey did a millionaires study and found most of the people that ended up as millionaires (people who have a million in assets) are pretty average people (engineers, teachers, accountants) who were just wise with their income, finances, and investments. I think something like 80% of millionaires are first generation.

But as we all know success is not just your bank account but success in relationships, hobbies, and other aspects of your life. You don’t have to be a billionaire to be ‘successful.’
