Most entrepreneurs work hard for little pay and no freedom. The problem isn't you, it's the system itself. Old business models set unrealistic expectations and trap founders in endless labor.
Let me ask you a question. Did you start your business in part to achieve financial freedom? Raise your hand nice and high. Okay. Pretty much every hand went up. Here's another question. Did you start your business in part for personal freedom to do what you want when you want? Raise your hand nice and high. Okay. None of those things happen. You start a business and you absolutely don't have financial freedom and no personal freedom. You work like an animal and you get paid nothing for it. That's what the experience is of most businesses. Now, how can this be? How can it be that we start our business and every entrepreneur seems to do this for personal freedom and financial freedom to be fulfilled, and yet so few achieve it? I asked myself, what's wrong with us? And then I figured out, oh my gosh, there's nothing wrong with us. There's something wrong with this system.
