Unlike my employers and contractors, I have actually supported more industry-related groups and individuals than them outside of bread-winning income.

I like it when people succeed. Employers should rejoice in their staff having successes- even those unrelated to their industry. Success can be attributed if willing, able and realistically connected.

Unfortunately, most modern investors have irregular boundaries as to when they'll leave, dive, sell or buy into a partnership. As was told me again today- it's part of the "get rich quick" scheme that was a fad some years back but hasn't panned out------- obviously.
