‘Wealth Isn’t Earned by the Hour’
‘Wealth Isn’t Earned by the Hour’
Jan 12, 2026 7:06 AM

In an informative interview via Christianity Today’s Money&Faith.net, Dan Miller gives good guidance for people to e entrepreneurs. He’s a big proponent of the side business, which could take as little as 5 hours per week. He says,

Wealth isn’t earned by the hour. It’s made with ideas. We tend to associate e earned with hours worked in the traditional workplace. The person who’s making $8 an hour wants to make $10. The person who’s making $10 wants to make $15. But if they really want to change their financial situation dramatically, it has nothing to do with how many dollars they make per hour. It has to do with how they develop an idea.

But part of what Miller is talking about is the finding of one’s vocation within these side projects. Many people start out with a side business, which they enjoy so much and are so productive doing that the side business es their main work. A good part of what Miller does is ask people the right questions, to make them really think about what they want to be doing in life.

‘Do you, or have you ever, belonged to the Boston Tea Party?’

It wasn’t until the modern era, though, that “economy” became to refer primarily to the production and distribution of national e and wealth and lost almost all connection...
