I guess in one sense I made it because now others want me to “help” build their own mattress. More then ever “friends” have popped out of know where asking me to invest in their “sure” scheme/business dream. I entertain many of their proposals but they should understand success wasn’t achieved over night and many failures taught me who to trust and whom to walk away from. “Friends” will except that walk while acquaintances will go on a different path. I may not always feel that I’ve “made it” but others do and now they want me to “make it” for them as well.
