What's the difference between a job and a business?
A job pays you when you work. A business pays you when it works. The difference is ownership.
In a job, you're the machine. Your output is directly proportional to your input. Work 40 hours, get paid for 40 hours. Stop working, stop getting paid.
In a business, you build the machine. Your job is to create a system that produces value independently of your time. The hours you invest upfront create assets — products, content, audience, brand — that continue working after you stop.
"Employment is a game you play. Entrepreneurship is a game you design." The employee optimizes within someone else's rules. The entrepreneur designs the rules.
The transition doesn't have to be binary. Start building leverage while employed. One product, one content practice, one system. When the leverage exceeds the paycheck, the choice makes itself.
