Common misconception

"To earn from your expertise, you have to spend your time delivering it." That caps you at the hours you have. But your knowledge, voice, and likeness are intangibles — they can be copied infinitely and licensed again and again at near-zero marginal cost. Turning yourself into a licensable intangible decouples your earning from your finite time.
