1000 MB internet at home is $60. Same provider at my office, because “commercial,” is $300/month for 300 MB. 5x more expensive for 1/3 the speed.
Since I’m not full time in either the office or cabin yet, both use about the same amount of power from the same provider.
Cabin averages around $20/month to sit idle most the time. Office is $70 to sit idle most the time. And the $1.99 service fee to make a payment is $7.99 for commercial.
This isn’t a lot of money in these examples, but the concept applies on a greater scale.
It’s not just hard work over a long time to find success. It’s also tolerating constant inconsistencies, crab buckets pulling you down, and everybody wanting their piece of something they didn’t contribute much to.
And the entrepreneur does it all gracefully while getting paid last to put food on the table for everyone else.
