Deep dives
Freedom vs Autonomy for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs often mistake freedom and autonomy as synonyms. While starting a business may make you feel free from having a boss, the reality is that constraints and limitations arise as you aim to make money and grow your business. These constraints, such as ensuring server uptime and responsive customer support, are necessary for sustainability. True freedom in the entrepreneurial world comes after a multi-million dollar exit, when major constraints are removed. However, even post-exit, there are still limitations and problems to face. Instead of striving for freedom, it's more pragmatic for founders to embrace autonomy, setting their own rules and making decisions for their business.
