What a great read! +1 about the calculations. This also reminds me of this piece from Khe Hy and why he is making the leap from creator/solopreneur to full scale business. https://radreads.co/hiring-ftes/ I do wonder if I would take that deal...

Oh interesting article! I agree, creators shouldn't assume they need to be solopreneurs. We gotta go out there and surf lol

Oops, he didn't mention in this article that he had a dilemma when he was approached with seed money to make the leap, a critical piece to the story! (can't find the article for the life of me..)

Ali shared his income graph in YouYube vs other avenues in PTYA. If only I could find the screenshot!

Thanks for this. I found it fascinating. I'm still figuring out how to make it in this creator world :)
