Yes, you are 100% correct. I believe the way "be your own boss" has been marketed in the past is very misleading. Many people believe they can plug-and-play to any step-by-step program and be successful overnight.
I strongly believe anyone can get to the point of owning a business that runs 100% on auto-pilot, but before that happens there is some work to be done. According to Entrepreneur.com, the main reason 9 out 10 business fails is because the owner have the wrong perception of entrepreneurship, not because of resources or tools.
