Money is validation--the only validation that matters, in business and many other things, sad to say.


I totally disagree. Validation is where-ever you find it. Money has no value to me, really, other than as a tool (resource pool). I get far, far more validation out of the relationships I have with the people I work with, and helping people grow personally and professionally, than I ever get out of the $$ (and i say this as a serial entreprenur for almost 8 years now).
