🎥 More about this video:
The idea of 'quitting your job to start your own business' is seemingly growing more popular by the day. Gurus and coaches peddle the idea online that entrepreneurship and side hustles are the only way to get rich, that your 9-5 job is trapping you, and that you'll never feel fulfilled as a corporate prisoner, but in this video I want to debunk that myth for what it is - a myth. Let's talk about how entrepreneurship might not be the right path for everyone's career, why the rise of the entrepreneur seems to be taking place, and how you can become rich from your 9-5 job alone.
