Less Entrepreneur More Investor
In this brief segment from the "On a Roll" show, host Mike Michalowicz poses a quick math test asking whether $10 per hour or $100 per hour is the better option. He declares that the correct answer is C – insufficient information – because the value depends on how the earnings are generated. He explains that $100 per hour earned through personal sweat is limited by the finite number of hours one can work, capping growth. Conversely, earning $10 per hour by leveraging other people’s labor (while the entrepreneur enjoys leisure) can be scaled indefinitely because the entrepreneur can replicate that $10 per hour many times over. The core lesson is a mindset shift: entrepreneurs should view themselves as investors, using their earnings to fund systems and people that multiply income, rather than positioning themselves as sole doers chasing high hourly rates. The segment ends with a light‑hearted reminder that the investor approach removes the cap on earnings, even if each individual transaction yields a modest amount.
