Thanks and you're right. It was an oversimplification to highlight the fact that many of the people who make the most money don't have control over their time. Some entrepreneurs fit in that category, but there's certainly a huge difference between selling your time and being a successful entrepreneur. That's one of the many reasons why I'm an aspiring entrepreneur and not a professional who sells his time : )
I'm definitely not saying that people are "too driven" as though it's a bad thing. I'm simply saying that it seems that many successful people are successful because of their passion and the fact that they'd do the same thing even if it wasn't lucrative. I think that's great.
I define freedom as control over your time, and I was trying to say that you don't need a ton of money to gain control over your time and that it's almost impossible to control your time when you're working for someone else. You're best off figuring out a way to generate passive income.
