There are three paths that every entrepreneur eventually has to take: the path of the pure artist, the path of the pure entrepreneur, and the hybrid path.
The path of the pure artist involves doing something you enjoy doing and doing it well, ultimately going from a commoditized price point to a luxury price point.
The path of the hybrid involves finding someone else to build the business around you while you stay focused on the main thing you love the most.
The path of the pure entrepreneur involves building businesses, with the types of businesses getting bigger, more complex, or simpler.

Conclusion

You can also change paths later.

It's about finding the right people to fit inside of your business to build the business around you.
The highest level of advice is someone who has been there done that themselves and taken other people just like you to where you're trying to go multiple times.
Three Paths for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs' art will change and evolve as they develop.
There are three paths for entrepreneurs: the path of the pure artist, the path of the pure entrepreneur, and the hybrid path.
If you love the actual doing of the business, start with the path of the artist.
If you love entrepreneurship in general and just want to make money, you are more the entrepreneur path.
The hybrid path is usually someone who starts as an artist and then becomes an entrepreneur.
You can own a component of the business and have someone build it around you.
Product, Marketing, and Sales
The most valuable skill for entrepreneurs is product first, then marketing, then sales.
If you know how to sell, it's because you don't know how to market.
If you know how to market, you can sell lots of stuff, but you're only going to sell it once because the product is usually not that good.
If you know how to sell product, you'll get more promotion from your customers than anything else, and that is ultimately what scales the enterprise.
The key to building a very big thing that lasts for a long time is to have an exceptional product.
The highest leverage thing you can do is make an exceptional product that other people want to promote for you.
