Is the only key to true wealth in the US found through owning and running your own business?

And making your whole life revolve around it?
- Family = Employees / shared owners / operators
- Close friends = Other current or potential business partners, with most reason for gathering / talking being to talk about business and how to work together to expand it
- Vacations = Tax-deductible business expenses
- Material items = Only if business related so they can be more tax-deductible business expenses

This way there are no personal distractions…everywhere you look, there will be your business looking back at you and nothing else.

Is this the only true way to success in the US? Stop having any other hobbies / interests, and only focus on making a business profitable 24/7/365?

I think once a long time ago, possibly before the 80's, that was possible, but not nowadays. At least if you equate success with wealth.

If you equate success with doing something you love and enjoy with someone else you love and enjoy, then yes, that is conpletely doable. But yes, it will also take a 24/7 focus to have a modicum of money.
