“we should get rid of both the word and the idea of freedom being a reasonable thing to strive for while you're on that Journey instead let's Embrace autonomy I think that's a much better concept for a much more pragmatic approach... being an entrepreneur does let you build the business you want but once it's up and running your freedom is pretty much gone instead you have gained autonomy”

Trade the dream of "freedom" for the practice of "autonomy"

Entrepreneurship doesn't hand you freedom — the servers still have to stay up, the customers still need replies, the bills still arrive. What it does hand you is autonomy: the right to choose which constraints you operate under. Replace "I'll be free when…" with "What constraints do I want to operate under?" That reframe converts a vague chase into a concrete daily choice you can actually act on.
