Topic: Inventing a job is better than finding a job - page 10. (Read 1406 times)

Successful self-employed people are typically leaders while the employed/employees are followers who are told what to do. It's hard to be a leader just as it's hard to run a business probably with many workers to manage.

Alot of people want to be self-employed and run their own business but when they get there they discover it is really difficult to do. Only the gifted few with broader minds who likely enjoy what they do are able to endure the difficulties of running businesses in order to understand the dos and don'ts of it and stick to what works. And eventually master the businesses, expand and probably employ people to work for them.
It's important to master a business... When you do, risk is drastically reduced.

Starting a business requires financial and other resources. Most people cannot afford to raise funds that could be used to start a business. Even when you have a good proposal no bank will be willing to give a loan or credit facilities with stringent conditions or collateral. Starting a business also needs some level of skills in the field. You can learn on the job when you are employed but learning on the job in your own business might lead to loss of funds. But the beauty of owning your business is that you enjoy the profit as the business grows and you also have the freedom to engage in other family or other social activities because you can control your time.    

Paid employment could lead to underemployment or even underpayment. Even if the firm is making more profit from your input, you will still earn your normal pay. In some developing nations the workers are treated like slaves. Some even engage in domestic work in the houses of their bosses after closing from office work. You can be called up at any time even during holidays to the office and carry out official tasks. People have to endure this employment abuse because there are few jobs being chased by many applicants.  

Life is too short to be spent on modern-day slavery. I have plans to work for a number of years so that I can raise capital to start my own business. The capital I need is not to purchase goods that will be sold for profit, it is a backup fund that will be able to provide my basic needs for about two years to enable me to invest more time in my services-oriented business. I don't want to run the rat race till death. I want to own my life and work hard at my pace and not under the control of wicked employers.  

finding a job or roughly speaking creating new jobs is quite good because we indirectly rise in terms of caste and are not called employees / subordinates especially we work on our own demands not others and indeed it is a very good thing but the problem is that it is not as easy as imagined.
Indeed, everyone wants to be their own boss but sometimes not everyone has the same fate even though they want the same thing because if in the end the thinking is that simple with everyone being their own boss then there will be no balance in life.
On the other hand, there needs to be some considerations that occur to support this because finding a job all needs to be fully prepared in terms of plans and finances.

Whether you are a worker or an entrepreneur, both things are good. As long as you don't just become unemployed, because being unemployed is a heavy burden for the family and the country.

Being a worker or an entrepreneur, both things are good. because it proves that they want to have financial independence. However, if we talk about which one is better, it is better to be an entrepreneur, because by becoming an entrepreneur, apart from being able to have financial independence, we can also have economic independence and not depend our hopes and lives on other people or companies. And on the other hand, by becoming an entrepreneur you can also provide more benefits to other people, because by having a business you will create a job opportunity that will help many people, or at least be able to help your relatives and people around you. because life is not about how rich we are, but life is about how useful our life is to other people. And if you can't provide benefits to other people, then don't ever let your life become a hassle for other people.

You have clearly delivered the true sentiment of the people (as I am also one of the employee that use to have that Views in life)  
as a government employee for more than 12 years? and in private office for 13 years? yah I was being paid  decent and with Under the table as well knowing how government sometimes goes.

Not Until the pandemic (COVID19) comes when Jobs need to be cancelled( because our government branch isn't really functioning in pandemic days)
so i have to find alternative and yes My wife and I decided to open a small restaurant.

it is really hard when we started because Lock Down is happening and the store needs closure each time but we manage to stay strong and yes
up to now our small restaurant have grown and yes from Me and Her ? now we have 5 employees (aside from delivery rider that we are paying
depending of how much he delivered each day)

and I can say is better to have your Own profiteering than being Employee , though I still go to work waiting for my Early retirement
to focus in business , I may say my wage  is not even 30% of what we are getting from business now.

My friend, let your passion and destiny guide you, the two are good, it depends on how lucky we are in our paths in life. Some people are in the wrong countries and environments, while others are not, and some people are in the wrong profession while others are in the right profession. These are the factors and they are regardless of whether they create jobs or be employees, if you are in the right profession, you will make it.

As some might believe that creating jobs for themselves is the best, have they also thought of those who did this and even tried it in many fields but failed? As we think of the good side of anything, we should also think of the challenges attached to it, it's not everybody that creates a job or project that is successful in it. The same thing goes for employment, some people are so lucky in their employment pursuits and made a very good career in it, whereas some people are so unlucky in this. The latter is often caused by the unavailability of quality employees in some countries, while the environment of some people even in a good country is not encouraging, which they need to change instead of complaining.

In light of these two points, I am neutral on this, if you could be gainfully employed and earn good money there, you should go for it, even at that, nothing is stopping you from having your side business(s) as an employee. Also, you can create a job for yourself and others if that is your passion, but if it's not working for you, there is nothing bad in trying to be employed, so try your luck.

This last piece of advice was applicable to a person I know in my neighbourhood recently, he had worked as a mechanic for over 10 years. But it wasn't easy anymore when he got married and had two kids, he had to abandon the profession and he's current working for the Customs services in my country. It's better to neutrally study the situation and act accordingly, and one shouldn't be the priority over the other unless it's your passion.

half of Earth's terrestrial land surface remains untouched by humans, there won't be a land problem, problem is that everyone wants to live capitals.

Self-employment doesn't bring any risk. If you are a roofer, you'll need a roofing nail guns, roofing hammer, hammer tacker stapler and etc... These are necessary tools and you don't really need more than necessary tools to start a trades business where you are self-employeed. It only brings risks when you want to create a big business where you sell product/service and have to employee others.

That's true but competition is good, this is how it works, one succeeds and one stays at home.

The first one is better. When you do your job yourself, you don't have boss and you don't make them rich, you only work for making yourself better.

Currently I am working for a company, but there is a desire to work on my own to open a business. but this goes back to a person's mentality because starting your own business is not easy, therefore I took a safe point, namely opening a business as a sideline to my job, with the hope that later it can grow and develop until I give up my main job, it's not easy, it will but while it's still easy, we have to use it properly

Both have their own challenges. With such a bad economy in the world, both options you mentioned have some consequences. It is very difficult to make business decisions nowadays. Capital may be required to make some decisions or to implement our decisions. Sometimes we may lose our capital due to the decisions we make.

Taking risks can help us reach our goals, but it can also take us away from our goals. Finally, I can say that acting in a planned manner brings us closer to our goal.

I think this depends on a person's condition. Almost everyone wants to build their own job so they can recruit people who need jobs. Unfortunately, this is usually limited by money. Because of this, many people prefer to find a job first to make money.
Personally, I am currently trying to create my own work. I have several businesses that can support my needs, so I try to expand them to increase my income, and try to create jobs for other people. However, it could be said that this path has greater risks, compared to people who already have jobs.

No option is categorically better than the other, they are different and they have different strengths and weakness, however I really believe that early on you should just get a job as this is the path that requires less investment and risk on your part, but once you have accumulated enough experience, skills and hopefully a good amount of money then you need to think about becoming your own boss, because by becoming your own boss not only you cannot be fired, you will make more money per hour, since now you do not have a boss hoarding all the profits for themselves.

Going back to the issue of starting a job a bit, I wonder if, in real life, anyone is placed in a certain job position without training.

Of course, creating a job the way the OP mentioned here is a perfect thing, but it requires skills, capital, social relationships,... a lot of different things to make the job work. So I think it's not too separate because work is a suitable adaptation to social change.

If someone is trying to learn and work in a job that already exists, and where they have all the opportunities to be their own boss, I think it's realistic to look at the problems the technology industry is having. Dynamically, many startups were born, and they also had to face many challenges to get good results.

Entrepreneur: Quit your nine to five jobs and start a business, you only enrich your boss.
Employee: If I'm comfortable with my current jobs and get paid accordingly, why I need to quit? if every people become entrepreneur, who's gonna work for them?

If you can become entrepreneur and handle many people then congratulations because each person has it's own character or personality which you can't generalize if become entrepreneur is better than become employee.

It is certainly true, it is better to plan to employ people under you rather than working under others. Working under another means mortgaging one's freedom to others and accepting a monthly salary by mortgaging one's freedom to others. When we have a workplace of our own we will be able to do our work as we wish and we will also create employment for some people. Less number of people think like this, most of the people think that they will complete their graduation and get a job but why don't they think that they will not get a job but create a workplace for people. First of all, one should give importance to his education, if there is no good financial support after completing graduation, then a person should try to create a workplace for himself, even if it is in addition to the job.

I think inventing a job is like creating a business that hasn't been established before; it's a challenging endeavor. However, if you possess the skills and talent, akin to Elon Musk or any other successful entrepreneur, you can always give it a try and see for yourself if you'll be successful. There's likely to be less competition once you become an entrepreneur rather than an employee, but not everyone is willing to pursue the business ideas they have in their minds. That's why the majority of people live from paycheck to paycheck.

Bear in mind that most financially successful individuals are business owners. Only a few have achieved financial success through traditional employment, and they often don't retire with financial freedom.

This is why for me ? it is always a Business that we have to create to follow your advise opening hob not only for us but for other people as well.

it doesn't need to be a large company but at least paying Minimum wages if not more than that, I have also established small business years back and now I am employing 2 neighbor  and planning to extend this to help more people in my community .
Am just waiting for the Bullrun so I may add more capital for my business and yes I am following that to invent jobs instead of looking for one.
not mentioning that nowadays there is a large demand in online service and product meaning this opened opportunity to many people to have House business and can generate income while taking care of their family.

Don't forget that to invest in a job is not easy, and it require a huge amount of capital before you will be able to create a business that will help you to improve financially and materially if you have the skills to manage the business well. But if you don't have capital to start your own business, I think you can find a good job that will allow you to earn a huge amount of money from the organization either weekly or monthly to start saving some for future use . I prefer investing a Job, having your company will help you to avoid so many things in the land, and it will make you not to experience any challenge with Boss which is the major challenges many job seekers are going through in the world in the hands of their Boss.

Let me tell you this though, there's 8 billion people in the world, if what you're trying to say is much easier, how are you exactly going to be able to invent jobs if everyone's doing it? Also, if you mean to create a business, I don't think that it's going to be for everyone to do that anyway because not everyone can be an entrepreneur and if I'm being honest, it's easier to find a job if you know where to look at, maybe it's not a job that you normally do or matches your degree but still a job is a job and there's a lot there that you can find, not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur anyway. Also if you mean inventing a job as in literally, then you will be needing a lot of money because you're planning to create something new and people aren't going to believe you at first so I don't think that inventing a job is going to be much easier.

Creating a job will indeed be easier for those who already have expertise in the field they like and this will give us the freedom to do the job because we do it with rules that we have made ourselves so it will be easier for us to carry out it, very different If we work for a company we have to follow the rules that have been determined by that company and we cannot break them because we work for someone else, but for me, if I choose to work for someone else or want to start my own business, we have to carry it out with discipline in order to be able to do it. get satisfactory results, because if we don't carry it out well wherever we work then we won't be able to get good results.

The decision to either become self employed which could lead you to creating a job or seeking for employment opportunity in an already existing firm is totally a contextual one and depends a whole lot on a number of factors ranging from experiencee level, age, financial strength and a whole lot of other variables. Creating a new job isn't an easy something that anybody can just decide to venture into and at the end of the day the person will just become successful at it. For you to even create jobs it's even best to have worked under an existing firm, see howw things are done, get some connection and then with time you should have known if you can successfully venture into setting up a firm or business that will require  you to employ the service of others.
