Autonomy Is the Ultimate Entrepreneurial Luxury

Posted on Monday, Oct 27th 2025

Autonomy is an underrated luxury. Somehow, investors have convinced entrepreneurs that working 80 hour weeks to make money for them is PRESTIGIOUS. More so than personal wealth creation. More so than family, relationships, health and wellbeing.

Let me ask you some questions:

What if you make $5 million without raising any outside financing in 3 years?

Vs.

What if you make $5 million in 10 years after raising $300 million?

As you raise more and more funding, your ownership goes down and down.

It is the investors who are gradually taking control of your venture. You end up working for them, not for yourself.

Why is working for investors so much more prestigious than working for yourself?

Why is Autonomy so underrated? 

Why is Bootstrapping so poorly understood?

Why is Bootstrapping so poorly appreciated?

Why does Ownership matter so little?
