I prefer to be a business owner but if the job is paying a good amount of money then why wouldn't I take it?
I like to be a business owner because they hold their own time unlike being an employee they need to be on time.
And when you are a business owner even if you decide to take a leave or you would still have an income unlike when you're an employee when you leave or skip work it would affect your salary.

If the job is good paying job it is still good to stick to the job, part of the earnings from the job can be also used to establish a better business. Creating a business is a good form of building wealth because every job we found ourselves their will be a day we will all retire or resign from it. But the business will always be their after retirement of job.
The business will only be a source of income one can look up after retirement, plans for business is a good one for the future.
If you have good job and you can spare some time for the business and you are a smart worker they you must keep both. Job and side hustle until your business is establish fully

A business owner is all good and fine. But I think there are more better reasons on why you could want to be a business owner.
There are also some employees who are really valuable to their employers. These employees could very well work on their own time and pace and still get paid. Also these said valuable employees could also decide to take some time off for perhaps personal reasons and still get paid the full amount. An employee that’s valued and respected by an employer would probably given the freedom to work as he/she pleases as long as he/she makes quota.
I think having a small business is always a great idea - but this does not mean - if you are an employee - you be dishonest with  your job - although job can end anytime but there is KARMA which can very real. WE should be honest with our job too and we should work on our business too.
That is what I have learnt after doing 16 years work as an employee.

But you never know when the boss give you a thank you letter for the services you have provided them.
Always have a side hussle so that you have something else to take care of when you lost your job, I was so honest to my job and it was paying me well. And the next day I was jobless. I spend 2 year working for myself. and I dont hunt for job anymore.

i think  if you are doing a decent job and you are well settled there - then you must not quit your job. Infect you must have a side hussle and have a second earning by hook or by crook - this would cost you beauty sleep and less socialisation ..but it's worth it.
It's worth it if you've been working hard and you've got a decent job and salary with it. You don't have to quit asap with it if you're planning to establish a business.

You can excel in your employment and at the same time, have your plans executed by having a business. Things will not be easy but consistency is needed for doing both of it. You retain your job and position and you test and run your potential business.
Yes, however, the most important thing is your dedication to doing the work and planning to build a business,
if you still feel passionate about doing your job it's better to continue especially with a decent salary,
to build a business, of course, you need to start slowly and in the right stages.
Having a decent salary and job security are two things that won't make you quit even if you're trying to establish a business. As you start, you're unsure with the result of your plan and business and that's why you need to support it financially through your salary.

And that means that you don't need to quit yet because you're just beginning it. But if you're a risk taker and you think that you've got enough money and savings if the business fails then you can start all over again.
one should keep evolving and keep discovering the new things. The beauty of the universe is that it keep changing and keep moving.
learning new things and practicing new ideas should be the key. I would prefer my small business.

I always wish to have my small business establish but I never got an idea what to do and how to start.
there are so many ideas - but the only thing I lack is the courage to start the small business.

'The right to privacy matters'
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!

Good topic. If I was a star employee

Life is a choice, you can choose the direction of life in every thing you do. Before making a decision, you must be aware of your capabilities, whether you can become an entrepreneur or an employee in government agencies and private companies. This question will make someone more prepared for any outcome of the decision taken, whether you will regret the result or rejoice at it.
It needs to be underlined, no matter how high the position or rank of an employee means nothing, their status is still an employee. Sometimes small decisions that can change your life forever, because no matter how small your efforts, you are your own boss.
True, I agree on this, we must be more prepared to get out of our comfort zone to become an entrepreneur. What I see from some of my friends who started their business, they are former employees in a company. In the sense that they work only to find capital for them to open a business, and they say that we will not be employees forever, there must be times when we have to quit for whatever reason.
So they decided to open their own business, and I see now that there are many young people around me who are pioneering as entrepreneurs.

No one is going to make more than the owner if its profitable so as an employee we will get the basic salary of contract we signed up by the company and the progress of salary hike depends on our skills, productivity to the company but its safer because we will get minimum pay every month or week.

Being an employer or business owner comes with less physical task and more mentally stressful circumstances for example if you're a realtor then competitive one will try to overcome your success and they will keep doing it everyday so you have to work on it everyday if you don't want to left behind. And don't think being an owner means we can take leave whenever we want and expect to be in profits.

Yes, you are the one who will decide to whatever direction you wanted to take, but you should always know your capabilities and how you will find way to have a good outcome.

Even how small it is but if you have a good determination in finding the right way to become your own boss,
the chance of succeeding is always possible, your self-will makes you inspired to push your destiny.

They are both two good Careers for one to go through you'll really gain alot feom being an employer first.

Just if one is poor at the management of people I mean his/ her people management skills, he will have a chance to do so when they're finally guided by the heads. All the steps learnt here would be useful when you finally your own business. I will advise anyone to severe before he finally becomes a leader.

Everyone hopes to become their own business owner or company leader, the pro factor is that we have time for business and family members without having to ask anyone for permission, but being a business owner also has a great responsibility to focus on business development and must have capital reserves if business turnover decreases or there is no targeted income to return business capital. Business owners have a high burden and great responsibility and also for employees there are pros and cons in their work.

A lot of people will 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.
correct - people would like to be boss - yet they would not want to work like a boss. There are lazy people who would like to be rich and would not want to work like a boss.
To be an entrepreneur, you must have high or large capital, it is proven that when you experience a decrease in turnover, you don't get too down because you have large capital reserves so there is less chance of going bankrupt.  As an employee, you must always obey and comply with company regulations. Many people fail to comply with regulations. On the other hand, there are many pros and cons about what jobs we should take, but it's up to us which one suits us.  or we could work as employees but have a side as entrepreneurs.

To be honest, I prefer to have my own business, because I have problems with adaptation, and mentally I can't be told by other people (BOS), who have to do whatever I want. But now I'm still an employee 😅 because I don't know what business to do and I don't have the capital yet.
There are people that don't want to be led or instructed by someone and that's what you've mentioned. If you have got something to start with as your capital for business then you should go for it.

But as you've said in your situation, you have to endure that feeling and be meek because your time when come when you're already decided that you want to start your own business.

Employee: money is regulated by people, you are judged by people for how appropriate your price is to be paid
Own business: what kind of results do you want to get, you value yourself how worth it you are
Yeah, that's with businesses. The salary of yours or profit depends on the result of it like a performance-based job.

We know the difference in between two things which it would really be just understandable on  where you would be preferring but there are things which it do make it hard or impossible for us to achieve out.

Yes, all of us would really want to have a business but we dont have the capital,the idea, the courage,the knowledge on how to run off these things which means that you would really be still tangled on being an
employee as if you dont really have any choice.Not all though would really be able to make themselves shackled forever on which there are ones who do successfully be able to pull themselves on such condition.
Wont really be that easy because it would really be requiring up that kind of knowledge and capital for you to start up some business and would be handling up yourself on your own.
