Sensible people get paid for playing.- Alan Watts
If you ask me to explain the difference between a freelancer and an entrepreneur, I’d probably explain it this way:
- A freelancer is someone who works for a company without being hired by said company.
- An entrepreneur is someone who works for himself.
It’s really simplistic, but to me this is the distinction.
The other day, I came across something that challenged my thinking. The part that stood out to me was distinguishing a freelancer from an entrepreneur:
- A freelancer gets paid to work.
- An entrepreneur makes money while she sleeps.
I aspire to be an entrepreneur, but I think I may actually be a freelancer.
