I think you're misunderstanding my use of the word - I'm not meaning "pride" as a negative term, but as "a reasonable or justifiable self-respect" (Merriam-Webster).
Maybe I'm fortunate in that regard though far as "We do what we do because we can make a living with it". My main focus in this biz is vintage stuff, which I collected and was involved with long before making it a commercial venture. Started as a labor of love, so I get some satisfaction from it above & beyond just making $$$ and being one's own boss, etc.
