A short monologue by Codie Sanchez criticizing modern entrepreneurial complacency and the pursuit of passive, low-effort income.

She praises entrepreneurs like James Watt, emphasizes responsibility to protect and enable others, and motivates viewers to turn wants into realities.

We've completely forgotten why we are entrepreneurs. Many of us got soft. We don't climb mountains. We sit behind keyboards bragging about how ChatGPT did all the work. What a terrible thing to strive for. How you can make the most money by employing the least people and doing the least amount of work. Let me tell you a real secret. Entrepreneurs don't just exist for a bunch of zeros. We exist because we are crazy people. We are supposed to be the next generation of explorers. The feeling of being so damn unemployable your only option is owner. Those are the entrepreneurs. I admire entrepreneurs like James Watt who creates a billion dollar company and still swims with the sharks. We don't want passive income, we want empires. My husband and I have a saying. Protect those who can't. Cast aside those that won't enable those that want. Here's to all of you that want so badly. Your wants become realities.
