BOOK: The Billionaire Career by Daniel Strauss. (Tafelberg)
"Oh, Dan. Look, you may think it's a safer bet to get a job. But working for someone else is also risky. Some would say even riskier because they can fire you at any time," Sherah tells Dan. Later she grabs a paper napkin and draws a graph with a vertical and horizontal axis; inside the chart is a U-shaped curve.
The vertical axis is risk. Low at the bottom and high at the top. The horizontal line is low on the left and high on the right. On the far left is being an employee. Next is a side hustle, a funded entrepreneur, and on the far end is a self-funded entrepreneur.
