# Quote — A Business That Requires You Is Just a Job

## Quote

> "If your business stops the moment that you stop, you haven't built a business. You built a very demanding job."
>
> — [[entity-sunny-lenarduzzi]]

## Context

The motivating definition for installing [[framework-5-simple-systems]] during Phase 4 of [[framework-6-month-roadmap]]. It is the verbal anchor for [[claim-business-vs-demanding-job]] and echoes Michael Gerber's *E-Myth* distinction between working *in* vs. *on* the business.
