Either way it is your choice what way you choose to set up your business. Many people set up a business  where they only get paid on if they are working such as an attorney who opens a law office and earns at an hourly rate but when the attorney is at home they don't make any kind of income.

It is not compulsory that you have to set up a business that provides you income only when you are working. Creating a business like this makes you start a job for yourself, you can make your system that generates income for you.working long hours on your business is your choice if you don't want to.
