Less Entrepreneur More Investor

In this brief Honor Roll segment, host Mike Michalowicz poses a simple math test: is $10 per hour or $100 per hour better? After a quick sponsor thank‑you, he reveals that the correct answer is “C – not enough information.” He explains that while many entrepreneurs chase the $100‑per‑hour figure, that rate is tied to their own sweat and is inherently capped by the 24‑hour day, making it unsustainable for scaling. By contrast, earning $10 per hour through delegated work—where others perform the tasks and the entrepreneur simply collects a share—can be repeated indefinitely, offering uncapped, scalable income. Michalowicz urges entrepreneurs to shift their self‑identification from “doer” to “investor,” using their earnings to fund systems and people that generate ongoing returns, even if each individual dollar earned is modest. The segment blends humor, sponsor shout‑outs, and a conversational tone to illustrate the advantage of an investor mindset over a traditional hustle‑centric approach.
