Both jobs and entrepreneurship can make you rich. Job-holders become specialists who deliver excellence in one domain while their employer multiplies that value. Entrepreneurs own their own P&L, take on risk, and develop broader skills. The paths differ but both work.
Are you an entrepreneur or do you work a job? I think both of these are perfectly acceptable ways to building a career. Frankly, both of these are really acceptable ways to generate quite a lot of wealth. I know people who have jobs who are some of the highest compensated people I know. And by having a job, what I mean is they have a thing they do for an employer and they focus on delivering excellence in their domain and they keep on cooking that for their employer. Their employer is able to make multiples on that person and they take care of other concerns. So that way this person gets to be to be a specialist in whatever it is they're doing, like to be a technical fellow, to be a senior executive, to be a communicator, a writer, right? They're just great at what they do. Contrast that with being an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is going to sell, they're going to be their own P&L. A lot of professional salespeople, frankly, look like entrepreneurs even when they technically have a job. They're looking to take on risk, and therefore they look at the way they build themselves to be more expansive and more generalist. These are both different, but they're both valuable.
