(5,325 posts)Which is just the way that my best friend became a very wealthy woman herself. Has her own business which she runs by herself. Never had an employee so she can't be accused of exploiting them. Offers a product/service that's also offered by scores of others, so a case cannot be made that she "cornered the market" or overcharges because if she didn't do what she does better than just about anyone else, her clients/customers have many options to take their business elsewhere.
The notion that a person cannot become wealthy just from hard work and good sense is just wrong. Not easy and doesn't happen for many, but the fact is that a person doesn't have to be an asshole to get and be rich and those who insist in believing so are just munching on sour grapes.
