I can't figure out how you think that's "kinder" instead of "a compliment." What's so noble about gold mining, exactly? Or with a long-term impact?
If I help 10 students build $100k/yr+ businesses, that's a $1 m/year impact I've made… which will continue to improve their lives, have an impact on their families and their communities and naturally themselves, and anyone they tutor, too. And the first of my students are reaching that goalpost, 2-3 years later.
Freckle, too, is designed to help my customers earn more & build a better business. And I have over a thousand paying customers there.
How's that less valuable or less honorable than creating some kind of social startup I hope to sell for a couple million dollars? (Or investing in somebody who does?)
There aren't a lot of gold miners who have created lasting wealth, or lasting impact.
