A solution would propose a "how to"; I did not. I am merely pointing out a long term historical trend. If a person makes their living based on selling their time and specialized skills in exchange for money (as I currently do), there is no one size fits all strategy to take a wage earner and turn them into an owner that will work for everyone.

Labor is a market like any other. If it's too crowded and competitive, it's best to consider other options.
