Coming up, I will reveal the real reason why people want to be their own boss.

And then more leaked documents about Amazon and the dumpster fire that it is becoming.

And hey, let it cost losing place.

Let's go.

Welcome to the Cake COVID show where I help you win at work and in life, I'm going to

make more money and experience more meaning.

Alright, so what's the real reason that people want to be their own boss?

I'm going to unpack that just a second, but let's look at the data.

How many people in America actually want to be their own boss?

Alex, the person I went and meet another day, and when we pulled the data, we were both shocked.

So here we go.

This is from a recent Dartmouth study found that 70% of Americans want to be self-employed.

But just for fun, those that are watching live in the YouTube channel, you could you could

kind of pipe in here. But what do you think is the percentage of Americans that actually are

self-employed? So 70% of Americans, that's an overwhelming number.

One to be self-employed. What would you guess the percentage is of people who are actually self-employed?

So I remember Alex, if memory serves, I would, I think I told you that I would have

guessed like 15%. The actual number of Americans who are actually self-employed,

6%, it's a much bigger gap than I thought. And it's a huge gap.

And so I want us to wrestle with this tension today because in an audience, this size,

the data shows that the majority of you would actually like to be self-employed.

The number of people who think about being self-employed is probably even higher.
