"I'd rather have my future wealth come from value I create"

He doesn't say anything about trading time for money. If he creates value that scales, he can divorce his time from the money he makes.

I'm having trouble coming up with an example. Can you give an example of value that scales but that isn't an asset he holds?

I prefer assets that I create, or have an active role in such as patents, and businesses, and code.
