Rock stars don't open stores to sell their own CDs. Painters don't generally own their own galleries. Why must an inventor be forced to also be an entrepreneur?

Rock stars don't open stores to sell their own CDs. Painters don't generally own their own galleries. Why must an inventor be forced to also be an entrepreneur? Rock stars have to sing the music they write and work hard for a following until they're valuable enough to get a deal. Painters, no matter how good they are, need to relentlessly network and self-promote if they want their work to be recognized. Simple creation is never enough. You need to bring forth value, and that means hard work.
