Exactly.! I'm nota saying the entrepreneur was bad or unsuccessful or that I wouldn't want the same outcome.

I'm pointing out that this outcome -- which is clearly one of the best possible outcomes -- isn't as amazing as someone might think.

That doesn't mean people shouldn't be entrepreneurs. It means people shouldn't be entrepreneurs if they're doing it to get filthy rich.
