It's a natural question at the beginning of my career: I prefer to start my own business because self-employment makes me my own boss. Because I can set my own hours, choose my workspace, and control what i do and when. And I think for a business owner to succeed as an independent business owner, you have to set your own goals, deadlines and schedules. So some employees find that very appealing.


Being your own boss is very good but we need to start somewhere and that will build us more so that when we eventually start our own business it won't be new to us, all the things that we have experienced before at work will be applied into our business and that can help it grow faster. There is need for experience, this is important in building of personal business. So I will also like to run a personal business but will go through training to acquire some knowledge.
There’s a lot of businesses that failed along the way, and simply because the owner of it has no experience on running a business at all, so having it can be a big help for your business. If you will start as an employee then that could be a good training ground for you while you are aiming for more. The best way to become rich is to do business and let money works for you. Being an employee is also good but if you want more success, then go for creating business and take the risk, it may not be easy at first but once you already know how to manage it, you can be good.

In life we have different folks with different likes and preference. There are people that chosed to go into business as businessmen from scratch and turned out to be business tycoons and movers and shakers of the industries with some few years in business.

While on the other hand some other person chosed to be employees as in working for those that owns business organisations/companies and yet still made it in life to an enviable climax. Perhaps cause that's what they love and have enthusiasm for rather than being an entrepreneur which perhaps might not have worked out well for their career eventually.

Either way, be it a business owner or an employee there are some other people who venture into either of them made no success too. Life can be somehow unfair, right? No! Life isn't unfair, for that's how the cosmos works. So everyone can't just win on a particular thing, definitely not everyone  Smiley

Now let's have a discussion about it all, for between being an employee to work for some other person's establishments/organization/company  and rather taking time/years to establishing your own company and not working under an employer but rather you being the employer, which will you chose and please ensure to back up your choice with reasonable thoughts, as it could be a guide to some other person's that might be reading this tread.

Let's begin!

If everyone was successful, what would this world be like. i can't imagine it. in principle, humans will move according to their natural abilities and instincts. everyone is doing what they should be doing. if you don't have high luck, in the end you can only become a worker with a mediocre salary. everyone wants a decent life, be it doing business, being an employee, or owning a company. however, all went according to their respective portions.

Until now I still work in a company, I can't do anything but work to make money to fulfill our family's life. I have other skills in informatics engineering and this would be a great side job for me but, if I could choose. I want to be a businessman, engaged in technology such as a startup company. but to make it happen, at least I need adequate finances and colleagues who work together as a team.

If I were a fresh graduate, I would first work in a company to gain experience because I realized that it is not easy to create a business that I know nothing about. My goal in working in a company is to create a network or get a lot of relationships that can be useful for my business later. Over time, I will think about creating the kind of business I want and how much money I have to prepare.

But some people prefer to be a businessman rather than work in a company because they will learn to manage their own business instead of taking orders from their boss. And life is fair because all success will depend on how we work for it.
You are right. In order to start your own business you have to have a network of contacts and relationships, so you can start advertising your services or products to that public. And it's from that public you will grow your base of customers, based on their feedbacks and recommendations. Without this initial public it's very hard to start a business, because nobody will know about it, consequently leading to losses.

The bright side of being an employee is that you don't have to worry about the financial situation of the company, the responsability isn't on your shoulders. The success of the business doesn't depend exclusively of you. In every cases your wage is going to be paid every new month or week.

I would prefer to be a business owner, because I'm my own boss, I can start anytime I want, I can take a vacation anytime I want, and I can do whatever I want in my business. Being a businessman has so much potential than being an employee, because there's a big difference on working for someone, and working for yourself. In short, being an employee means you're making their company rich, while being a businessman means making yourself rich.

Work smart, not work hard.

Depends on my resources of an individual. If I'm privileged, I'd definitely try businesses 'coz I'd have resources and permission to try over and over. But since I'm not, the best way is to be an employee first in order to earn money for my capital. Even if I will get a high paying job, I'd still go with business simply because I cannot imagine myself working still when I'm old. Life's too short for us to not enjoy it. If you're okay with working 'til retirement, then that's just fine. But if I would have a choice to make it early for me to enjoy the rest of my life early, ofcourse I'd grab it. You can also consider working while having a business, depending on your preference. Everything would work fine if you'd want to.

Well, everyone starts with nothing and as in zero to begin with.

I've made a lot of business before and most of them are like small enterprises but still even with experience, it's really a thing because I feel that I have a low self steem.

And that is because I'm always thinking the challenges in the first place. It's the main reason even if I've done a lot of failures, still, that feeling of failing isn't removed on me.

A part of yourself that you needed to overcome when engaging in any business. Don't be afraid of losing, but make sure that you
will learn something out from any mistake that you encountered.

Determination will help you to step forward even it's just a little step one a time
the important thing is you are progressive, maybe it's not time yet or you still not
finding the right business that suits and fits to your skills.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I should be fine to lose because it's better to lose because you've tried rather than doing nothing at all.

But sometimes, you're just having thoughts playing on your mind and they could be discouraging and degrading thoughts thinking that you can't do it.

I know that I can do it but at the same time, there's an unknown feeling that discourages me.

If I were to choose, I would rather be my own boss. It's difficult to work for someone your whole life. However, not everyone has the knowledge to run a business. Even with enough money to run a business, you will eventually lose it all without proper knowledge and skill in business management. The answer is always obvious, everyone dreams to have their own business, however, only a few make it. In our society today, a degree will never guarantee success. There are business tycoons who never had their diploma, there are degree holders who are working 8 hours a day or longer. Running a business needs a lot of effort, I've seen some people who really put in their hard work starting with a small business and growing them. Determination and hard work is the key.

Of course everyone will choose to be the boss and so do I, no one wants to be ordered by others or have to obey someone. But we won't be able to decide that depending on our circumstances. If we are fresh graduates, we cannot become business owners but have to work as hired laborers or were born in a difficult family, then becoming a boss will be our dream, but first of all we need to go to work.
well realistically it is as you say. that everyone wants to have an independent business by building their own business and being their own boss and maybe having a few employees. However, the fact is that a person's financial situation and condition are different. maybe someone is lucky by living in a rich family so that it will be easy for him to start a business with the capital he can get from the help of his family's wealth. but for some people there are even those who start from zero. i.e. no capital at all. so they certainly have to work first to raise capital for the dream of one day having an independent business. including me are people born from ordinary families. I also initially worked for other people so that in the end I collected capital and built an independent business.

I'll choose to be a business owner because I'm thinking of that I can help genuinely those that deserves it and are hardworking. So, it's a give and take situation for me and those that I will employ if ever I'll have a big business.

I'm planning to have one but sometimes it's making me think if I can make it. I'm not afraid of risks but I'm afraid of failure but also, it's making me realize that I can just restart if the business I started has failed and just go back to employment.
I have always wanted to become a business owner from the start but seems my experience is not good enough so I would want to start as an employee at first and gained all the insights needed to grow a business. Because I believe once you build your own business, big capital is not enough, you also have a good knowledge and skills on the business you are building as to have higher assurance for that business to succeed.

I think all the people want to become a business owner because they think this is where they can attain freedom. There will be no boss that will dictate them anymore. No more long hours of work but the working time can depend on you though I think some business owners can work for a more longer hours than compare to what the regular employees are doing.

This is because they want only the best for their business. Every time and effort that they spent in their business is beneficial to them but as an employee that's not the case as many employers didn't really appreciate the hard work of their employees but they only care about their business.
I feel like wanting one and being one are very different. I am a realist, I would "love to" be a business owner as well, and I have so many business ideas, but I also know that I have absolutely no idea how to run a business. The simplest thing would be having a wordpress website right? How hard could it be?

Like you could pay someone 1000 dollars and they can do from logo to branding to social media to website all of it, and yet I would not be able to keep it running, plus I do not know if that developer put something in there that could ruin me. So basically, I would not prefer to be a business owner right now, it is too much work for something I don't know, whereas as an employee, I know what I am doing and I think I am good at it.

I am not interested in having my own business. It means responsibility over other people (employees), moral dilemmas related to it and to running a business successfully, you can both profit and lose money despite working hard on it, etc. When you're employed, you can expect a regular payment for what you do (you usually aren't losing money this way), and if you work at several places part-time, you can be pretty independent. Also, the conditions of work and how much freedom you have at your work depends on a place, but it can be pretty good if it's a reasonable boss, flexible schedule or even online work.
Also, a person can be self-employed, which is neither a business nor working for someone else. In the end, I think it's probably the best, but it does come with some risks and implications.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
Wise advice says, "If you want to be a good boss, be an employee first."

Business owners have more complex challenges, competition, management, crises, inconsistent government policies and many more. The average person only dreams of being a businessman because of big income, but don't want to see how their process builds it.

It depends on what kind of person you are and what you want to do in your life. Both can work out and usually go hand in hand most of the time. Imo, one should gain experience first by working as an employee, learning the processes in a company and developing working habits and only then try himself out as an owner of a business. Not necessarily this need always to be the case, but speaking of myself, I started as an employee in the IT industry, and after a couple of jobs changed, I felt confident about starting my own consulting company. It just came naturally to me, and I was in that stage of life where one just wants to leave a mark and create smth on its own. This is how it worked in my case, but a million ways can work for people, as there is no clear rule on this matter. However, I'm 100% positive that starting something on your own without being organised, persistent and hard-working - you're destined to fail. I'll repeat myself, it all depends on what you prefer and at what stage in your career you are.

We can still be businessmen even though we are fresh graduates if our family owns a business. It's really difficult to start a business from zero since you'll be putting in a lot of effort. I am both happy and envious of those who inherited a family business because all they have to do is manage it well because it is already established, but the pressure on that is high, so you must also work hard. I'm in the same boat as you; we come from low-income families and have no choice but to work.

Business owners who wanted to keep succeeding will continue to work long hours to attain more success. We do understand that in each success story, there are stories behind.

Who never wants to be a boss, right? But before you can become one, you need to work
harder than an employee can do.

Taking a long time to find ways and make sure that you are doing the right thing for your
business for a longer success to achieve.
