The funny thing about "fortune and risk" is that they don't even think in those terms. I think they would say it's about being authentic and true to yourself. They have tried more traditional lifestyles and employment, but it just isn't them. As my friend Mya would say "if you're trying to be someone or something you simply aren't, you're bound to fail." I hear that from so many entrepreneurs. So the philosophical question becomes were they lucky, is it the result of hard work, or are they simply doing all they know how to do? They are truly wonderful people Simon.

Your friends are a shining example of people who take control of their lives. Some might say they are lucky, and perhaps fortune has smiled on them, but it also sounds like they've made some risky choice, but managed that risk effectively. They're wonderful role models.
