The sad truth is that most business owners in today’s world do not actually own their own business — their business owns them.
They never learn how to create business models capable of producing both time and financial freedom.

Often there are some tells about whether you’re a business owner or in fact kind of self-employed.
In this video, I talk about some of the tells that indicate whether you have a business or a job.
If you have a business or a job is a fair question to ask yourself. A simple test is to ask what would happen if you stepped away for a month. If the answer is that everything stops, you have a job, not a business. The good news is that you can change that by building a team and a model that run without you. For more on this, have a read of why business owners struggle to let go. See also this page on the startup company on Wikipedia.
