The delayed timing of the income doesn't turn it into capital. Your comment does illustrate that some forms of labor may be more scalable than others. A lawyer can only bill so many hours in a day. On the other hand a salesman may be able to increase his earnings many times over by selling many policies in a short amount of time. In the end it's still labor. @Pajama Jeans

If You sell my a life insurance policy, thats labor, and I continue to pay for years and you recieve a commission for years. Thats leverage and that's what makes money multiply.
