I’ve started nine businesses so far. The first one failed, but each successive company has yielded greater revenue, profits, and (mostly) happiness.
There was a particular period of time — 2002 to 2005 — that I without doubt enjoyed the higher revenues and profits. I set out to prove something to myself, and made more than I would have made if I had remained practicing law, and even more than most of the partners of the law firm I left in 1998.
But I can’t say I was happy. Turns out, how you make money matters more than how much.
