Topic: Entrepreneurship or Office job? - page 2. (Read 4787 times)

Better is subjective term. Office workers that have been used to their environment and can't leave it because of how fun and lovely their workplace is will say that it's the best thing.
Those that prefer remote work will say that working online is the best thing that has ever happened to them because they'll get to be with their family at most times while working.
Business folks will say that being an entrepreneur is the best career for them because they get to work hardly at first and when the system is already built for their business, it's all going to be passive and more freedom to them.

You explained it better than me mate. The way raising really has a serious point in a person's future. But this doesn't mean everything. If it were, the caste system in india would be valid all over the world If a person knows what he really wants and acts accordingly, there is no obstacle that he cannot overcome, no success that he cannot gain.

Mevlana, who is known in Turkey and many countries, has a very meaningful saying.

That's the actual motivation of don't be a loser. You may fail as much and as many as you can but don't stay in that situation being stuck. You'll have to do something for yourself because it's the only motivation that you can have.
The idea of owning a business isn't just going to circulate of being your own boss, making a business is a process and you'll be the one who works the most at the beginning and when success hits you, that's when you'll be your own boss. But the fact is that, even the boss is a successful person, they're still working the most because the habit of working hard is already attached on them.

I like this kind of testimony. It sounds cool, let me ask you. Can you say if you would have been richer or poorer if you have been into your small venture for 16years. 16years is a big amount of years, I assume if you have been in your small venture business for 16years, you would have been among the riches and most recognised business owners in your town.
Salary work will make you believe you are lazy and cannot do any great things on your own. Business is fine, skills is fine.

It is always hard to start your own business, especially when you are jobless and have limited funds.
I am also doing this now, I'm trying to have my own business in the culinary sector. It is a small business, probably the same as your small ventures. Learning from my previous failure in this business, I am building this business with a partner (my friend). A partner can support both the idea of growing the business and the financial strength as well. I assume getting a partnership is a deserved thing to try if you have limited funds. But if you want to focus on running your business yourself, you can ignore my idea.

Lots had lost their jobs with that pandemic situation 2 years ago but now where things going back to normal then this is where people do start on recovering out after that disaster.

This is why on the time that things which turns out to be normal then it would be wise on finding things which would be adding up into your income.In case where things turns out to be shit then you could
able to handle and make yourself survive even if you dont have the job.

We are living on a world where inflation do hits hard where possible fucked up scenarios could really be happening and this is why its really that wise for you to take one step ahead
or back up plans ahead.

I think the easiest thing for me who has just graduated from school is an office job, and I have been working in the office for about 8 months even with a small salary, of course I plan to become Entrepreneurship if I already have good capital and skills so I can be successful and not tied anymore with routine and working hours.

If it comes from a family inheritance, it is easy to become an entrepreneur; I mean, it is easy to start a business because you have already put your foot in it, but coming from a low-income family with only minimum wage, the transition is very difficult because we don't have capital at first, we need to take risks, and those risks can affect you and your family. The last is that society or some of your friends keep dragging you down because they don't believe you can. I envy people whose parents own businesses because they can inherit them, whereas people like us look for work. Still, if we believe in ourselves, we can be entrepreneurs someday.

In my opinion, in the current economic situation, a combination of two ways of generating income is necessary - wage labor and business. 

Currently, the whole world is in a recession.  Therefore, both employees and entrepreneurs bear huge economic risks.  It is impossible to minimize these risks. 

However, they can be differentiated. 

The more incoming financial flows a person has, the better.  The world is changing and people also need to become more flexible and diverse.

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone though. And, it is perfectly fine if your way of living is not through entrepreneurial. Though having your own business may generate unlimited income for you, but having a job is easier than creating your own company and employ someone.
There is always going to be a supplier and a consumer, so it's never gonna happen that everyone owns a business. So, stop overthinking that working for someone was a bad idea, I knew a lot of people who lives a comfortable life while they work for someone or an employer. If you think entrepreneurship is not your forte, then don't force yourself to step in that kind of business and just continue what you do best. 

Its easy to say don't be a loser but when it comes to action most of them will fail. Because they don't have enough energy, motivation, brave etc. etc. They know what it will cost but they don't work hard as much as needed. Some of them will give up after some failures. But small percentage of it will be successful.

I have many friends which tried many business attemption but they failed. Because they thought they are boss but they are just a employee of their companies. If they work hard they get the prize. If they don't they pay their failure with their money and time. They had brave but they didn't have right strategy.

By the way speaking about my friend most them now working as a 08:00-19.00 worker. Whenever I mentioned about their business attemption they said " Come on dude! Now I have enough time for myself! Before I had to work even mid of night. But now 5 and half day I'm working and my salary is fixed. Being entrepreuner is not easy for like me". Look at those mindset.  They just gave up on their future. They thought being normal worker is fine for themself but they missed their big possibility to future.

If you want to be successful businessman: Dream big, work hard, be better than yesterday, learn from mistakes ( Not just yours, releated person and companies' mistakes ).

I will choose to maintain entrepreneurship.
even though when opening a business in a difficult economic situation and the attractiveness of the community is low, you shouldn't close your business, but you have to think about how the business must continue and have high interest.
Being an entrepreneur doesn't always go smoothly according to our thoughts, there must be times when the business is quiet and we are required to think about how the business will be busy again. for example, the business theme is replaced with something that draws a unique societal appeal. so that our efforts always have developments every time the attractiveness of buyers decreases.
we become entrepreneurs indirectly already become the boss of our own company and if the company's income starts to decrease we as bosses have to think about continuing the business so that the profit income increases again, not even closing the business.


if someone wants to be an entrepreneur but is already thinking about money, I think it won't work.
but if someone wants to be an entrepreneur and thinks of a process to grow his company bigger and has a good idea to make his business bigger that would be even better.
Indeed, all of this requires money to push for the better, but at least don't think about money or profits first, but think about enjoying the process of developing your own business to make it bigger. if the business has become large and has high buyer interest, there is no need to think about money, of course the profits will always flow

Or don't be a loser but is open to challenges that shall lead you to become a successful entrepreneur or even a career person. Whatever is suiting you to be successful in any path that you want to take, it won't be that easy. Even if you're a son or daughter of a successful businessman, I'm sure that they won't just turnover to you their successful business but they want you to experience every hardship that they've been through so that you'll appreciate the experience and lesson they want you to gain.

It takes many things to be an entrepreneur, it takes a lot to be self-employed, this means you have to take all the risk and bear the consequences of the risk . This is what people are afraid to engage especially now that the economy is nothing to write home about . That is why some people have decided to stick to job that would pay them every month no matter the outcome.
Some people thinks that it is only money that guarantee to be an entrepreneur. Money is just the secondary aspect, the most important thing is the idea and the ability to stand by the idea, no matter the outcome.

I relate this matters with upbringing. If a person grown with white collar parents or working under someone's job; its really difficult for them to handle problems from their own jobs. But if their parents have their business they grown up as a entrepreuner and they see possibilities all the time. Then being entrepreuner is suit for them. But its not mean, birth as a entrepreuner or not.  If you have big desires to be successful you can do it. Everything is up to you! Be successful or loser!

Yes, not all does have the capability when it comes to marketing or entrepreneurship totally or overall which means that they've decided to remain still into their day jobs and still not decide on touching up this
industry since they do believe that they wont really be that effective that much on this area.Well its true since not all had touched up this area or industry turns out to be successful.There are people who do
failed up and committing lots of mistakes which resulting into loss of money considering that this one still needs up capital which it is really that been part.
So its a personal choice whether you could put up that risk or not because not all does have the time and not all does have the money on starting up this is why we do
see different scenarios or decisions that had been made up.

Being an entrepreneur requires extra work to be successful. The funding aspect of being an entrepreneur is where many people run into problems, but countries from developed governments have programs to support MSME, so if your country is one of them, you won't face any difficulties moving forward. However, if a country doesn't support its entrepreneurs, they will probably fail before they reach their full potential. I will choose Entrepreneur in a working developed country instead of wearing a bow tie to the office every morning and answering unnecessary queries that are not significant.

Private Venture Capitals aren't even helping small businesses because of the share they demand; they do offer support but only in exchange for 40% or more ownership in the company, and any wise and intelligent entrepreneur wouldn't accept those kinds of offers just to revive their dying business because it isn't the best and sufficient in the long run.

The person who has an office job around him still has to start a business by himself, which probably means that he is dissatisfied with his current situation and has a restless heart. And I believe that with my own efforts, I can make my life better.
One of the ways to achieve financial freedom is self-employment. Although self-employment often goes bankrupt within a few years, for those with unique vision, self-employment is an opportunity to make a lot of money. It's much easier to earn money than working in a decent company.

When the economic situation is difficult, I personally think it is necessary to find a job. At this stage, as long as you don’t lose money, you are making money, and then spend a little bit every month to make targeted investments, such as Bitcoin. Of course, everyone's situation is different, and I am in this state now.

Now you need to know the industry information to start a business, and more importantly, you need to have a start-up fund.
This year, many companies and factories closed down due to poor management. Your regular salary is not enough to support your life and you may consider changing jobs or finding a side hustle.
