When you inherit a $4 million dollar business at a young age it's pretty easy to look in the mirror and ask yourself just about anything. I've been following the stories of people who make statements about "Following your dream" and it turns out that many of them have a wealthy family background or inherited a lot of money in one way or another. When you come from a working class background (most Americans are not familiar with this term) and your whole life has been surrounded by a struggle for money, it takes a great deal of courage and commitment to just do what you love. I'm not saying that it's not possible, I just wish that these "do what you love evangelists" would stop to think for a second what they would have done first day without the security blanket of a few million!
