Agreed, I've always thought of it in these terms.

With a service, how much you earned is directly linked and therefore constrained by effort your able to apply. Ultimately limited to the number of hours in a day.

Alternatively, when developing and selling a product, the amount of money you can make is more limited by how good (and how well marketed) the product is than it is the effort you are able to put into developing the product.

My view is that you can make living providing s service, sometimes even a good living. You can make a fortune selling products.
