Morality first. Entrepreneurship second. ...Laura,<br /><br />Morality first. Entrepreneurship second. And then academic nonsense ,like diagramming sentences(!), third. Those are my homeschooling priorities.<br /><br />I know plenty of people who make gobs of money but have terrible home situations, who can't hit a golf ball, who don't have any hobbies, who don't have relationships with their kids other than an occasional ride to school, etc.<br /><br />It's not just about money, and I know you know that, but I believe strongly that the only good money comes from productive entrepreneurship.<br /><br />Signed, a recovering trader (money changer) who's married to a woman in the Wall Street skim biz.<br /><br />I don't know that you have to *love* what you're doing.<br /><br />But one thing is certain, if a person HATES it....by all means they need to quit and do something else - no matter what the feared impact to their lifestyle (BMW, cleaning ladies, dining out, living in a safe neighborhood, etc.)CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-69077020068075062382011-05-05T16:31:47.479-04:002011-05-05T16:31:47.479-04:00Lots of people are doing private consulting for ne...Lots of people are doing private consulting for newbie homeschoolers (not me) and generating curricula (also not me). I'm always happy to see people do what brings them joy but for me, "do what you love and the money will follow" hasn't really panned out. But I still get to do what I love so there's that.Laurahttp://lauragraceweldon.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-36584321842440233052011-05-05T10:36:01.682-04:002011-05-05T10:36:01.682-04:00Hi Laura,

And I'm practicing real hard for it. After that I'm going to put the clubs away for a little while.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-75934132145521032402011-04-25T23:47:54.833-04:002011-04-25T23:47:54.833-04:00If that means that she would quit next year just b...If that means that she would quit next year just before golf season starts, sounds like a good deal.Paul Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825674914008378242noreply@blogger.com
