I have made all these decisions: to live as a writer — my decision. To bootstrap a software — my decision. Each non-revenue-producing moment has been by my own hand.
I accepted that, as an artist, I may never have a Mercedes or a Prada bag. I accepted that, as an entrepreneur, at least at the beginning, I would need to put money into my business that might otherwise be a down payment on a nice house. To not buy luxury or marble, I was ready for, and accepted.
