Better yet, don't rely on someone else to tell you what you're worth.

I am an engineer by degree and spent enough of my life actually working as an engineer to realize that the business world sucks. I have enough specialized experience that people call me somewhat regularly with job offers that pay quite well. No thanks.

I'm here today in my own shop with some greasy ass Harleys, working my ass off trying to build a business about to eat some Ramen Noodles for lunch... and I couldn't be happier.

I'd rather eat Ramen (for now) and drive a 15 year old Yukon while I build my own business than kiss some douchebag's ass hoping he gives me a good review every year. The thought of working for someone else again and having to play the stupid games trying to get what crumbs get thrown down to employees is all the motivation I need.

P.S. Anybody want to buy a motorcycle?
