If your business requires you 100% of the time…

👉 Do you actually own a business… or did you just create a job for yourself?

In this episode of Start It or Scrap It, we break down one of the most controversial truths in entrepreneurship.

We get into:

The difference between a business and a self-created job
Why most solopreneurs get stuck
How to build systems that run without you
When (and how) to hire the right people
Why your goal should be making yourself replaceable

One key takeaway:
If you can’t step away, the business owns YOU.

We also dive into:

A viral “ghost kitchen” business idea
Why audience-product fit matters (MrBeast example)
Real-world business debates and unconventional takes

This one challenges how most people think about “owning” a business.
