It is true. I only mention one cousin, there were two. Earlier years they were in business together with the same goal - to put their work ethic to use and to make it. They split because of two different personalities. One thought super big/took lots of chances, the other was more conservative. Both ended up wealthy millionaires but one superseded the other in a major way.

Basically, they both ended up being true to who they were. In the past five years they both died. All I can say is - they did it their way and didn’t put limits on themselves but kept within their own comfort zone while stretching it year after year. They didn’t have the ‘instant’ mindset.

babysitters are not in the union

Except in Michigan, where home health aides and child-care providers were forced into SEIU. It's a crazy world!
