Is It Just Me Who Hate Providing Services?

I'm currently 23 years old, and have spent most of career in the media industry and creator economy.

Started 4-5 years back as a music producer and although I did that for the longest time in my teenage (since I wanted to become a musician), I ended up not continuing it professionally as I just couldn't provide music as a service.

I'm currently working with a top 1% american youtuber as a post-producer. And I'm feeling the same thing - not comfortable providing post-production as a service.

I also tried my hand at marketing and felt the same. Providing services makes me feel like I'm on a constant treadmill and it's hardly different from a job where I'm trading time for money.

I always loved bringing my own ideas to life using my skills by creating content or just building things, but providing services seems to be a total opposite of that especially with tight deadlines, never ending feedbacks, and a lot of the time just going an extra mile to ensure a great client experience.

Plus, on the other side, it's actually hard to find talent you can rely on. Many times I have assigned a project to a freelancer, and the person just doesn't show up on time or with the work done the way it was supposed to be - which drags me back into doing the work myself.

I'm still learning and figuring out many things in my career. That said, I'm writing here wanting to come across some perspectives. Any entrepreneurs here who have previously provided services as a freelancer before scaling it into a business, I'd love to hear your views if you dealt with this issue; and if so, how did you solve this?

Also, I'd love to hear any views of entrepreneurs who transitioned from services to products, since building a product seems to be fundamentally different from providing services. I have a sense I might be better suited to a product business since it seems to involve less people management and more long-term asset building through the product itself.

Any insights would be of great help. Thank you so much!
