It takes great effort, skills, a boatload of perseverance, hard work and a shitload of money to enable someone efficiently start and manage a business. So for people that are leaning towards being a business owner and an employer, you should very well know it isn’t a walk in the park to employ and manage people.
A business owner must be up and doing. He/she must be knowledgeable in the craft so as to stay ahead of competitors and other business owners.
Not everyone can open and manage a successful business and that’s why everyone can not be employers of labor. To be an employer and your own boss would seem rosy to some and we could all prefer to be employers but can we all put in the work required? And there is a lot of work required.

Most people will prefer to be a business owner. I also will prefer to be a business owner. In my country here, majority are employee even though most love to be a business owner but some factor like Government policies has hinder so many in establishing a business and this make the rate of unemployment increases on daily basis.
Most will prefer to be business owners, and most will fail within the first year. The few percent that survive, will probably quit in the next few years when they realise how much work and stress it is compared to employment in a ok company. Out of that percentage, only few will succeed and be able to scale their business to earn serious money. Majority of people are simply not cut for it.
everything has their own challenges - when you are business owner - you have to be everything - from a cleaner to an owner. people just take the job for granted
consider lots of things first before proceeding.
Its true that not all does have the money to make out some start up and not all does have the knowledge on doing so.Therefore, they are really that prone to error and mistakes.
which this do really ends up on being a worker until they do die and just dont love nor consider on taking up the risk on enhancing their way of life.
There are people who cant just bare up with the risk.

How can you so confidently conclude about the future and failures of other people in business and in every job? Even if you had done some surveys on this subject, I think that in every year there will also always be a difference of people who do business and their work to start a business very well and also try to avoid failure. So it's going to be really weird to me when you start to infer all kinds of things about what other people would do that even those who haven't done it at all. December 17, 2022, 01:25:54 PM
Currently I'm still 28 years old and I have been working for about 5 years, and I think working is a boring thing because it does not increase skills and of course a very small salary, I live near the sea and many lobster farmers, I also plan to become lobster entrepreneurs because of more income high than being an employee.
Well you still have the means to quit your job anytime anyway. You could potentially invest those earning in your 9-5 job to being an entrepreneur although it might be a little risky if your business did not take off in the end.Business owners are obviously the boss themselves so it is not surprising that they have higher income than those who works for them. Considering how expensive lobsters even is, let alone in restaurant, I would be looking forward to the lobster business that you are planning to build in the future.

Business is something most people aspire to, but it is not easy and not everyone can do it. Business needs capital, knowledge, and bravery, lobster farming is also a money-making business, it looks easy, but starting is another matter. I support your thoughts but you need to prepare everything before you begin.
It's not a matter of trying or not, but indeed when we don't have talent there, no matter how hard we try, the result will still be very difficult.
Maybe there will be some who say hard work will not betray results, but on the other hand we must also be aware that working hard to force our will when we don't have the ability still this will not be good because we must also be aware of our own qualifications.
correctly. because in reality starting a business does require knowledge, courage, skills and capital. and not everyone has all 4 of these factors. And sometimes we really have to be aware of our own abilities. because not everyone can do it. But all of them are definitely trying to make their dreams come true. but not everyone can achieve their dreams. so is what happens in business. Being aware of your own abilities is important. But all are worth a try.

People do not realize the hard work that is required to own a business. Not only you will have to work 100+ hours a week to make sure that everything is going great (or at least you should) but you should always be one step ahead of the industry and constantly learn what is the new thing and how you could improve and basically have a master level of knowledge about the business you are in, you can't just "I want to start X company" and do it without any prior experience or knowledge about it, you need to learn about the job.
All in all, people who worked 20+ years in a sector end up starting a small business and make more money than most startups, only a handful of few gets high investments and millions fail while hoping to be one of them.

As long as you have determination no matter how many times you fail if you want to put up your business then you will not be quitting since the fruit of business success is more brightest than working in a company. I know your point about being an employee that is good and not stressful as you've said, well it means to me that you are still not ready to get out of your comfort zone and not taking risks at all but staying with your comfort zone and not taking risk is you will not be getting your goal or if you plan to have a lot of money then you can't get it unless you take the risk.

It's up to you whether you want to improve your skills or increase your salary. If you try every day and continuously improve your knowledge, skills, and efforts at work, you will also get more than what you have. You can improve those things even while you are working at the company.

Want to be a businessowner but having these main problems which is, having no knowledge on how to start up, there were no capital to start, they dont really know their starting point and so on.This is the main challenge if you are really that trying to look into alternatives which you could potentially able to earn more than with your current salary job.
We are all hoping for a life who does really have that financial freedom or simply could buy all the things that we do want but since we are just employees then that doesnt
really make things possible due to current expenses and other things which would leave out no choice but to deal with it.

It seems to me it doesn't matter who is better to be an employee or an entrepreneur. It is much more important that you really like and enjoy the work you are doing. It is also very important who you work with, because if you do not like your environment, then most likely it will be difficult for you as an employee and an entrepreneur.
On the money side, I'm pretty sure that it's always better to look at how you will prosper, whether you are working as an employee ora business owner, if you are earning good, that's a motivation.
But yeah, there's also a portion of you who's going to look with enjoyment or working with someone
that you are comfortable, even the salary or income is not that much.
A case to case scenarios which has different opinions that we will hear from different people's overviews.

I will choose a business owner, I have worked in the office for about 4 years and I am currently starting for a business, namely the sea fish trade, I live near the sea and the price of fresh fish is very cheap, if I bring it to a city far from the sea and then rent A place to sell fresh sea fish so I can get profit, right now I am applying for a car credit for business and next I will try to rent a place for 3 months of selling.
I hope your business is successful, friend. Looks like you have a very mature plan. and I think knowing that your place is close to the sea. then opening a business as you say seems to have a lot of potential. I myself do not work for others. but I don't have a business yet. one of my daily income is from day trading. But I am also planning to open a personal business. But at this time have not found a suitable field. December 16, 2022, 12:09:20 PM
I'll take employment in a good and stable company over small business ownership any day.

Ah, I forgot about this for a moment. and it seems what you say is true. Because everything will return to comfort and how much we like and enjoy the work itself. because of course everyone wants comfort in a job both as an employee and as a company owner. But I think the possibility of getting comfortable will be higher if we become business owners ourselves. because when we become employees sometimes we will be faced with a pressure at work. whether it's from superiors or from the type of work or from fellow employees. so that even though we enjoy the work we do, sometimes there is always something that makes us uncomfortable. for example because we have co-employees who do not have a good relationship with us.
But for a small number there are those who can find a comfortable work environment even as an employee. and the person would definitely prefer to stay in the job even as an ordinary employee.
