The 1Mby1M Mantra has always been: Excess is not a Requirement for Success. YOU get to define what success means for you. It’s personal. It’s your prerogative.

Do not live other people’s lives.

For some, becoming a billionaire is success.

For others, building a $1M revenue business and having a nice family life is success.

Both points of views deserve equal respect.

There is nothing wrong with ambition.

There is also nothing wrong with the desire for a balanced family life.

If you want to build a billion dollar business, it has its own specific dynamics.

If you want to do so going the venture financing route, then you have to drive hard, and move fast. You have to go from 0 to $100M in revenue in 5-7 years.

Bootstrapped entrepreneurship can be linear growth, slower paced, less stressful. But not necessarily that easy either.

Somewhere in between are options like Bootstrapping or Seedstrapping to an earlier Exit. Could be very lucrative.
