Companies often earn far more from the work employees produce than what employees are paid for their time.

You get paid once — but the value created from your work can generate income for years.

A friend of mine left his programming job and started a one-person consulting business. Same skills, same hours, similar work — but a completely different outcome.

Sometimes the biggest difference isn’t effort or talent.
It’s the structure you’re working inside.
