After working for a larger telecommunications equipment company (CMI) for five years I realized I'd never become wealthy working for others.

Sometimes you have to step off the plantation and do your own thing.

I did.

I started my own business. Originally it was engineering for hire as in developing hardware ready to be manufactured by the client. It was hard work with lots of stress...

My business partner and I then started designing and manufacturing our own products. In the satellite communications business our products are now well known world wide.

don't get me wrong, I am glad you are doing well.

but starting/running a business isn't easy, that's why most people are employed by already established businesses. not everyone can do it.
