I'll stop with this comment but I will say that there are a few fallacies in your comment. In short, you're overestimating the level of freedom many entrepreneurs actually have.
Can they choose anywhere on the work / life continuum? Maybe sometimes. Can they just go do something else? It's not always that simple.
- senordevnyc 1y agoI’m not overestimating the freedom that entrepreneurs actually have. I didn’t make any statements about entrepreneurs in general, we’re talking specifically about your rich relative and how much freedom they have. For the record, I am currently self-employed again after a five-year stint in big tech. Prior to that I worked for myself for more than a decade. I’ve seen this issue from both sides, and I definitely wouldn’t say most entrepreneurs can pick anywhere on the work/life balance continuum. But again, we’re not talking about most entrepreneurs, or even really about entrepreneurs at all. We’re talking about people who have reached financial independence, specifically your relative. All of this would still be true if they were an employee who had enough money to stop working tomorrow.
