Many professionals build jobs for themselves instead of building businesses.
Entrepreneurs must think in systems and processes.
A scalable business cannot depend on the founder doing everything.
Today's practice
List the tasks you currently perform as an employee. Then redesign your ideal business so those tasks could eventually be done by systems or other people.

Learning the core components of how businesses work
Many successful businesses start as small experiments.
Existing skills can often be converted into business opportunities.
Taking action quickly is more valuable than perfect planning.

The 7 books to go from employee to entrepreneur
Most people who leave a job to start a business know their craft, but not how a business works. These seven books are ordered to close that gap: first the owner mindset, then business fundamentals and purpose, then how to test an idea cheaply, and finally what building a company really feels like. Each day pairs one summary with one exercise, so by day 7 you have a 30-day launch plan instead of a pile of notes.
If you only read one:The Lean Startup (day 4). It turns "I have an idea" into "I have an experiment", which is the step most aspiring founders skip before quitting their job.
