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.
