Topic: A career - as an employee or a business owner which do you prefer and why? - page 10. (Read 2573 times)

I prefer to be a business owner than employee, because anything that is coming out from the business as a profits belong to the owner of the business. You can use all your power, strength and financial to improve your business without having any fear that your employer will sack you or demote you from the organization. Anything you invest in your personal business belong to you and your future children, which nobody can take it from you or share the incomes with you because you own the business. No matter what you do to improve your employer organization, they will still have something negative against you.

A lot of people say that business owner is better, because it allows to be a big boss and earn more, yet they continue to work as an employees. I think a lot of people dont realize the responsibility of being a business owner. All they see is "business owner earns more", but they dont know how tough it is to organize work and get first profit. Lots of people think that is easy to sit in a cozy chair and give commands. Try to control at least few employees. The "I can always hire new" is not a solution. That means loosing money. Not everyone is capable of being a business owner.

If I don't have the pressure of money, I will choose to be an employee. I think employees are more relaxed than bosses. I don't like being stressed out. I have enough money to travel around the world if I can.

Indeed, having aspirations to become a boss is a good thing, but on the other hand, as I have written before, we also have to look at our potential and our own qualifications, whether we are capable or not. If you are able, then continue, but when we don't have the qualifications, I think that forcing will also be useless.
Indeed, sometimes it seems as if being a boss is a cool thing, but in this world there are all partners and the boss's partner is an employee, we cannot force being a boss because if we think like that then those who work as employees will not exist and this system won't run in the end.
Yes, the important is that every kind of function someone executes on their professional life is worthy and dignified, being them employees or employers, so people should be proud of what they do and proud to earn an honest income for an honest living. And if they aren't satisfacted with they do, there is always the chance to improve and try something new, but nothing they have worked before should be remembered or ignored as something shameful or degrading. Every jobs executed are part of the professional journey of an individual. To be fair, even people who are in leadership position nowadays have already worked in the most basic fields of job industry before, and they feel rewarded for every of those stages they have passed. Indeed, sometimes it seems as if being a boss is a cool thing, but in this world there are all partners and the boss's partner is an employee, we cannot force being a boss because if we think like that then those who work as employees will not exist and this system won't run in the end.

Being an employee is not a bad thing. Employees are the backbone of any successful organization and without capable employees, that organization wouldn’t be as successful as it is.
I don't think anyone is viewing being an employee of any organisation to be a bad thing. In fact, there isn't a way any society can function without people or firms having other individuals work with them. Not to mention with the less and less available jobs out there with a growing population. Just that, being employed sort of places a limit on your growth level financially. You start to run the rat race where your life is built around or within a circle and that's not cool. You don't have the leverage to expand very much except in cases of upgrade within your firm.

Nowadays there is a distortion in people's views, as to be an employee was a bad thing, and to be a boss was the ideal. People feel ashamed for being employees of someone else, so it was created an idea that everyone must be bosses as the only way to impose themselves inside the society and those who are employees are already in an inferior status. And that is actually an absurd, because there are spots for everyone inside a production line. Some people are prone to one function, while others are prone to another functions. This way there are spots for everyone and every fields of job.
I beiieve to exist a balance between bosses and employees is what brings harmony to the job market.
Being an employee is not a bad thing. Employees are the backbone of any successful organization and without capable employees, that organization wouldn’t be as successful as it is. The business executives and management staff couldn’t possibly run a successful business by themselves and that’s why they need capable employees who could actually get things done in the stipulated timeframe. Everyone has a role in which they play and employees plays a big part in the success any organization.

The fact is that we cannot continue to follow other people's paths. It's true that being the boss of yourself and others is a very good thing to do and it's the most comfortable way to make life better. But on the other hand we also can't force what we don't control.
Qualifications in our life are all different and sometimes we cannot follow what other people can do because it could be that our way is not to be there (Being a boss) even though humans are the place to try but still we have to realize that our own qualifications are better.

If we consider how businesses were been failed and the constant challenges in maintaining one, all these could have been part of the reasons some think of not risking it by creating an establishement but rather they will prefer working under someone but i can boldly say that they both have advantages and disadvantages but if possible the blend of the two will serve the purpose for an alternative whenever there's a serious challenge with one, in this case, always keep another business or enterprise running underground aside the one you're been publicly identified with.
Yes, it's true that some people are more comfortable being an ordinary employee than running an independent business. because the risk in running your own business is very high if it is carried out by people who do not have much experience and broad insight. or some people are more comfortable with the salary they receive every month from the company. However, some people who prefer not to be under pressure from other people will definitely choose to build an independent business. because people who cannot stand pressure from superiors tend not to last long in this type of work as employees. so building an entrepreneurial business is the solution. But there are also those who choose to do both.

"If everyone can do it, everyone will do it". If we all decide to be our own boss who then would remain as the employee? The fact remains that, not everyone is capable of doing so well on their own without a superior person to put them in check. Therefore, people like that will remain as employee regardless of what their qualifications is or what they have on their portfolio. Albeit, they can seek for better pay for what they're actually worth.
True, there are no employees without a boss, and there is no boss without employees... One need each other. One can't replace each other, if they don't share the same traits and skills.

The point is you have high thoughts and feelings for the members you will develop. Everyone can be appointed as a boss but not for leaders who are perfect to help or can find solutions to what they are doing.
But running a business is such a big task. Those who does right are are the real champions

being a boss is not an easy task - I run a small Airbnb property and I am a detail oriented person.
And took my sweat and blood most of the time to take care of all the task - since I am poor and I have to clear things on my own. But being a boss is not easy.
Being a boss is never an easy alternative to working as an employee. As a boss, you wake up everyday knowing that every decision you make today can make or ruin your business but as an employee your level of commitment is limited. You only have to worry about your input and the pay at the end of the month.And took my sweat and blood most of the time to take care of all the task - since I am poor and I have to clear things on my own. But being a boss is not easy.
Instead of what you are conveying this is a natural or normal thing from the behavior of a boss or leader. So this doesn't surprise me with what you describe. but a boss should have a good idea and the right way to make a big move on everyone.

So even though our lives are in control, we must know the limits of whether we are able to do that or not, because in this case, forcing is not a good thing.

A lot of people would likely choose to be a boss of their own but the truth is not everyone can run a business. As an employee, you have little decision making to do hence you're not liable to take risks that can make or mar the success of the organisation.
That would serve as advantage for people who have problem deciding when face with the fear that whatever decision they make may bring their whole business down.

Yeah, a whole lot of people would likely choose to be their own boss cause they think it’s a rosy and easy path to becoming successful. Well, it may be a rosy and easy path now, but that wasn’t always the case.
Having and managing a startup is never easy. It takes a whole lot of time, effort and a shitload of capital in order for the startup to actually stay afloat.
Not everyone could successfully start and manage a business as it takes a certain skill to be able to manage a business and people(employees). Knowing that there are bigger and better competitors out there would deter most people not to delve into business.

Let's be honest, these days workers are underpaid almost everywhere, so if you could start a job related to the business that you do, then you could make a lot more, yes it will be harder, but it would at least mean more money and would worth how much you work, even if you fail, at least it would be because of you.
