No equity, no path to financial freedom.

If one does not hold corporate equity, the correlation between personal input and returns will be extremely strong. For almost all salaried jobs, even high-paying professions like lawyers or doctors, time must be invested to earn the corresponding income. If you don’t hold company equity, you have no income while sleeping, no income after retirement, and no income during vacation. In short, the income is relatively fixed, making it impossible to achieve substantial breakthroughs.
