Codie Sanchez spent 16 years grinding to keep up with people she says she doesn't even like.

Her line that stopped me: most of the people giving you business advice online were miserable long before success, and still kind of miserable after it. So why take their map?

Sanchez points at Jeff Bezos puttering in the morning. Tim Cook working out for his first hour, back when he was an employee. Work fit into a life, not the reverse.

The number that stings: most entrepreneurs pull $46k to $64k a year. Minimum wage in California is $78k.

Why? Almost nobody optimizes for profit. Revenue is the applause, and owners pay themselves last.

Walmart's margin is about 6%. Average business, 15%. Your million dollar company pays you $150k.

Dean Graziosi told her he's had a plane longer than his hyper growth friends, because cash flowed to him first, then to the business.

Five years trying to get pregnant finally made her ask why she was running the race at all.
