Without all those years of real experience it's tough to say whether I would've been able to grow my companies.

I just assumed you had started at the bottom and worked your way up. Just like my step father, who worked for General Electric for years and then opened up his own shop. That's the American dream.
But you didn't accomplish this on your own now did you? Someone taught you how to run the punch press, right? Somewhere along the line none of this would have been possible without a bank loan, right? How many people have worked for you since you opened up? Ten? Fifty? Two hundred? And the sweat and tears they put into YOUR business, all of the bullshit they put up with... Nah, you did it all by yourself.
