Doesn't explain why starting a business is the best use of money. A lot of those business owners who went bankrupt regret their choice.
The idea that one must 'accumulate as much money as possible' is living in fear that you won't have enough money.
There's all sorts of other ways to use your money. Use it to travel, learn an art form, take up sports.
Someone frustrated with a 9 to 5 job will be frustrated finding out as a business owner it's more like an every-moment-of-the-day job ("actually working hard").
How does someone have "more than 16 businesses" and lots of free time? Apparently by hiring self-directed managers and talking with them once a day or once a week.
What does he do when a new manager leaves after 3 months? What does he do when his grocery shop man is sick? The story doesn't say.
For a small business, it means the owner has to take over until someone new can be hired and trained. With 16+ businesses, this happens all the time.
Unless most of those 16 business are shells for some sort of scam. That's the only reason I can think of for having the admin overhead of 16 businesses instead of consolidating.
> today there is nothing safe. And if you lost a job then you can’t do anything
This is meaningless. if you lose your company you also can't do anything, so starting a company doesn't help.
If you really believe you can't do anything, advocate for employee rights, union power, a strong social safety net, and/or UBI.
