Could you take three months leave and your business still meets its performance targets? If you can't disappear from your business for ninety days, you're not an entrepreneur. You're what we call self employed. There is a difference between being an entrepreneur, a business owner, being self employed, and being a professional. So a professional, I am a better, I'm a dentist, I heal the patients. But if I'm not there, nobody heals the patients. The graphic designer is somebody who's self employed. I employ me, but I do the job. I am the value. The business owner, so the business owner goes, no I've got this business, and rather than employ myself, I'm going to employ people to manage the people I used to manage.
