How to Balance Money and Meaning
The fact that it feels like it&#x27;s written by an AI aside (because you know, someone obviously wanted to spend time on a beach instead) - there is an endless cadence to the &quot;entrepreneur, money and life&quot; article of which this is a part.<p>What always strikes me is that these articles rarely mention a sort of quiet, middle way entrepreneur group - of which I consider myself a member. Like most of the people I know who work for themselves or have a little product or a freelance business, I&#x27;m not in  the game to &quot;100x&quot; anything, I&#x27;m not funded, I&#x27;m not interested in million dollar deals, and I could give a monkeys about hockeystick growth.<p>Instead I - and many &#x2F; most of the people I know in this group - are just getting along. We&#x27;ve got a pretty good work &#x2F; life balance. We get to look at the sea and do the occasional deal and sign some nice work up - we all pay for our mortgages and our families. We&#x27;re doing business, we&#x27;re doing entrepreneurship - and we&#x27;re doing it pretty well without having to make these grand declarations about busting our balls until 35 and then retiring or working 4 hour weeks etc etc.<p>We probably don&#x27;t ever make any articles like this because it&#x27;s not the WOO story that everyone wants to read of rabid success or astonishing failure. We&#x27;re just here, doing what we do and having quite a nice time doing it.
