Short YouTube transcript (two speakers) arguing that freelancing and running a business require different skill sets. The speakers note that being skilled at shooting/editing as a freelancer does not automatically translate to building a business—skills like hiring, payroll, marketing, lead generation, and systems are required to scale beyond the time-cap of an individual ("only have 12 hours a day"). The video emphasizes learning business skills to break the limitations of solo freelancing.

It's like you're a freelancer but when you want to turn this into a real business it's a whole different skill set because like as a freelancer you can be really good at shooting and editing but if you don't know how to actually, you know turn that into a business where you hire other people to shoot and edit you do the payroll, you run the the systems you set up lead generation marketing sales systems so you can actually run the business properly like that's a completely different ball game you know and it's a different skill set at the end of the day.
Yeah 100 and the cool thing is that what you teach and the business side of things learning those skill sets ultimately allows you to scale and break that break out of that that cap that freelancing has over people because if you really think about it freelancing and doing everything yourself you're limited because yeah.
Because you only have 12 hours a day. Right. Maybe.
