Employee to entrepreneurial mentality....

I've noticed something with myself.... Somewhere along the line, of being a university student then an employee, I had gotten the idea that it is not okay to succeed financially. I've had to convince myself that making money (ethically) is a good thing to do.... That's because it keeps you self-sufficient, and then you won't be a burden on others or on society.... (You can contribute to society instead....)

It's as if I've had to give myself permission to succeed financially, or even to convince myself that it is good.... I guess as an employee, in a sense, you become used to getting your wage, and you don't have to convince others that you deserve it every week.... So there is a big change in going from an employee mentality to a more "entrepreneurial" mentality....

Can anyone else relate to this?
