A person who is self employed gets paid for their own output. A doctor, a lawyer, an accountant, and lawn service where the owner is mowing himself; while they all may have helpers, they stop getting paid the minute they stop working. They are selling their time.
An entrepreneur understands they do not get paid for their own output or time. They get paid for the output of their team. Their job is to build the team of the right people doing the right things to get the right result, not to do those right things themselves. There is a big difference.
A self-employed person cannot scale themselves. An entrepreneur can.
A self-employed person’s business does not outlive them and their efforts. An entrepreneur’s can.
