If you&#x27;ve convinced a bunch of suits to give you money that&#x27;s a very important step on the way to success, but it&#x27;s not success, and frankly if your business folds after that and you walk away a millionaire, I&#x27;d say not only did you fail, but you&#x27;re dishonest.<p>I don&#x27;t understand these founders who work in offices they can&#x27;t heat or light properly because they can&#x27;t afford to pay the bills, yet show up for said work in Aston Martins and Mercs. If you get funded that&#x27;s great, but put the money in the damn business you said you were starting if for no other reason than IT&#x27;S NOT YOUR MONEY, you didn&#x27;t earn it, you didn&#x27;t work for it, it was given to you to do something specific with.<p>Maybe I&#x27;m just old fashioned, if I gave somebody 5 million bucks to start a business and found them spending one friggin penny on pointless personal purchases, I would raise hell over it and I think I&#x27;d be right to do so.
