Hmmm interesting.
I guess it also depends a lot about personalities.
Some people like to show their success, others prefer to keep it as a secret.
I am generally more introverted so it's not my style to brag about the 3k a month I do with my business (which I consider very low but some could consider very high).
But you are absolutely right that inspiration instead of jealousy is what keeps someone going forward in the right direction.
I only really started posting here again when Bart started his famous vid threads to be honest, I can see a lot has changed.
I used to follow guys like meathead1234, Zen19, G-S-T and a few others. All of them had no problems talking about their success.. one of them now has offices all over the world and his company must be worth 10s of millions. I miss those days.
