Eric Siu makes the case for starting a business as a personal growth engine. He emphasizes personal responsibility and pushes back against passivity, arguing that building something forces you to develop skills and confront yourself in ways employment never will.
Everyone should have a business. Like, if you have the ability to— anybody that complains about not having freedom or not making what they want, they should go start a business no matter what. You're going to learn right now. Is everyone going to succeed? Probably not. But I think if starting a business is the best personal growth engine and it forces you to take responsibility for yourself, and because the people that you see complaining everywhere, it's like most of them like didn't want to figure things out for themselves. And you said like, you know, people are lazy, right? Or maybe— I'll just say— I'll say like a lot of people are lazy, right? And it's like, why don't you take responsibility for yourself?
