The Entrepreneur Track: build assets you own forever
Stop selling time. Start building assets — courses, apps, products, audiences.
Entrepreneur
Why it works
Employees trade time for money. Owners build assets that produce money while they sleep.

When to use it
Once your service business covers your living expenses — reinvest into ownership.
When NOT to use it
Don't quit your job to 'build a product' with no audience and no validation.
How to use it
- Pick ONE asset type to build first: course, SaaS, content site, community, productized service.
- Validate with pre-sales BEFORE building. If 10 people won't pay, don't build.
- Reinvest 20-40% of service profit into asset growth (audience, product, content).
- Track MRR, audience size, and asset value — not just monthly revenue.
- Long horizon: most valuable assets take 3-7 years to compound.
Examples
Course
$497 × 50 students/mo = $25k MRR. Built once. Updated quarterly.
SaaS
$49/mo × 200 users = $10k MRR. Higher build cost. Higher ceiling.
