You can at least say you tried. Not everyone succeeds, it's damn difficult to succeed, but you can at least say you made an effort.
They said what I did is not real work. Entrepreneurship is not real work, real work is to get a job. So, according to them I never tried anything or did any real work.
Don’t expect people who aren’t entrepreneurs to understand. You actually worked (because there’s no one else, no system or bureaucracy to fall back on). Sure, taking a comfortable W2 has its merits, but entrepreneurship is truly being in the arena — for better or worse — you experience all the victories and the defeats, and that’s what life is about. People who work a W2 for their whole lives, nothing against them, but you have to wonder if they’ve ever truly lived?
