Personal perspective;
My parents, who supported me when I set up my first business in 1991 both morally and with a loan of £1000 to buy stock.
Business perspective;
Arthur Guinness ( not just for the black stuff ).
In 1759 he signed a lease on St James Gate brewery for 100 pounds as a down payment and 45 pounds per month for rent on a 9,000 year lease.
At the time that was costing quite a bit above average but guess what...... 2018 and they still pay the same rent rate.
This shows what having foresight and a pair of balls combined with determination can bring about.

9-5 jobs make me extremely suicidal.
"You have to be here X days a week at X time until X, then you can go home". When I come home, I can't relax because I think of the next horrible day. Weekends the same. Always tense, can't sleep, stressed out, depressed. Working for some dickhead with lazy co-workers that work on 10% speed with 57 breaks a day and get paid the same. Every day the same. Eat, sleep, repeat.
I remember starting 4.30-5am, with 2 hours sleep every night walking in the dark to work. I stopped looking when crossing the roads, hoping a car would hit me.
The workplace or work itself was never the issue, just the whole concept. It makes me sick just thinking of it.
IM is saving my life.
Would also like for my GF to be able to work part-time instead of full-time. Live in Thailand for a few months maybe, she deserves it.
EDIT: Just realized the thread said "WHO", not WHAT.. Oh well..
