Topic: Entrepreneurship or Office job? - page 9. (Read 4701 times)

You can continue to dwell on this topic, preach all you want to, says all the recommendation that you have to give, not everyone will be an entrepreneur, not everyone will want to be self-employed, they would rather prefer to work under somebody and while some people combine the two. It is not everybody that can work or absorb the stress of being self-employed, they would be happy to work under someone and vice versa.
Though the number of entrepreneurs has increased significantly, some people have begun to know the advantage of being entrepreneurs over working under someone.

Now this reminds me of reading a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. He's also bullish into Bitcoin by the way.

In that book, he shared about transitioning yourself from being an employee to a successful entrepreneur. He has introduced 4 quadrants namely employee, self-employed, businessman and investor.

I'm currently in the self-employed category as I am working as a freelancer doing multiple gigs as a KOL and ambassador of various projects.

No disrespect to the office type of job, but it's something that I don't want to see myself (unless either it's my own office or any office work opportunity that I can work anytime without a bandiclock or shifts). Yes office jobs could help us sustain our needs (especially essential ones) in the long term, but it doesn't make you rich or wealthy.

As for business, I am not a fan of running and managing a traditional business like my dad years ago. He failed in various businesses that he run and manage because of being close-minded and having a "traditional" mindset rather than doing something out of the box or something innovative or creative that would catch the attention of the customers that may keep them coming back for more.

As a self-employed guy, I'm just simply happy right now. Not only that I can work at my own time and pace, but I can work anywhere I want as long I have a laptop and internet connection.

It's true that everyone's life path is different. There are people who are really good as entrepreneurs and there are also people who are more
comfortable with a fixed salary every month. So as you said just follow our heart and don't be influenced by others. Both entrepreneur and
office worker have their respective advantages and disadvantages, both of these jobs if done wholeheartedly can provide a good income for those
who live it. So in the end it's up to each individual choice, sometimes what's good for the other person, not necessarily be good if we do. So just
do our best when we become entrepreneurs or office workers, will definitely provide a good future.

Running an entrepreneur is not as easy as one might think. because we as our own boss have to think about many things. And the income earned is not consistent every day or every week or every month. But in entrepreneurship we feel a sense of freedom. and we are not under the pressure of others.

and if we are an office worker. Of course we have a fixed and consistent salary. but every day we will feel pressure from the boss of the company. and we feel life is deprived of freedom.

so between entrepreneurship and being an employee of the company has a less and more side of each. all have their own advantages and disadvantages.

so stay grateful both we as entrepreneurs and as office employees.

when our income is difficult to meet daily needs. So what you have to do is look for additional income. looking for alternative paths without having to leave the work being undertaken. both as entrepreneurs and as office workers.
now in this modern era more opportunities to find additional income. like being a youtuber etc.

I think all must be honed from within ourselves, if our soul is talented to become an entrepreneur,
then try to become an entrepreneur, but if we want to be an office worker, then be like that, follow your heart,
I am also like that, I follow my heart to become an entrepreneur, and the results are enough to make life.

It depends on how much you generate from your business that can make you to just stick to a business,  but if the profit that is been generated from the business is not enough to build the business very well, I will look for a job and support myself, then the profit I will get from the business I will use it to strengthen the business . When the business is big enough then I can decide to leave my job and have full concentration for my business.

That's right, because the statistical data is only taken from a few samples from various regions, it doesn't cover all of them, so it's clear that something like this would be much, much bigger than what the government said.
We are required to continue to live but with economic conditions that are quite difficult, so there are indeed many who take a simpler way by committing various kinds of violence to survive and referring to things that smell like crime.
But on the other hand, there are still many people who really maximize their abilities in other things, such as maximizing being in freelance work in cyberspace to support their lives.

First of all is the desire to try. When the desire is strong, then his determination to fight until he reaches the highest point he wants will be achieved. This is a difficult one to implement.

Second, those who are not ready to get out of their comfort zone may be because they are not ready to face the difficulties that will be encountered along the way.
Being an entrepreneur is not an easy job, but we are independent rather than being a worker where the salary which is a tool to be able to meet needs has been set in nominal amounts, including working time.

Working twice as hard not always help. For example, I am working in the office. If I work harder, I will get same monthly salary, because the amount of it is written in my contract. Sometimes there is not enough work for me to be able to work harder. Or I can do two days job in 1.5 days and spend rest of the working time doing minor tasks and browsing the internet. But, if I get caught "not working", I will definitely gonna get a warning. Basically working harder might play bad for me. In addition my work is dependable from data I get from other colleagues.

That is why I prefer having an office job, spend time on learning crypto and trading analysis, and in addition doing sort of a freelance crafting work or "being a helper". Dont have time and experience for entrepreneurship, but managed to organize my time in best possible way.

The unemployment rates are way higher than what the governments let you know as they manipulate the statistics so they do not look as bad as they really are, and if we add that many jobs are being automated then it is important to look for a source of income that we create for ourselves, obviously this is not something easy to do, but we have to try as an office job will never allow you to reach the financial freedom that most of us want to achieve.

You would really be needing to act or do some work if you are really that mindful on enhancing yourself when it comes to financial matter.You could actually do both things but it would require proper time management

because you would definitely able to mess up schedule or handling out your time if you do get involved on different things thats why it would really be that hard on having multiple things to be done.

If you are really that serious on improving yourself towards finances then you would need to work hard x2 plus having those goals or set up plans in mind for it to be done.

Entrepreneurship and office jobs can be compared with short and long term investment. When you work in office you get paid/income/profit instantly (basically weekly or monthly), but if you start your own business, you can wait for your first real income for ages. Similar to investment, to start your own business, you must do market research. If you are not experienced with that, lazy, or simply dont want to spend time on it, then the you are gonna work for have already done it for you.

Everyone certainly wants to be Entrepreneurship, freedom of time and finance is fun, but it's impossible for everyone to be Entrepreneurship, and many people have failed so that it makes life difficult, I am currently working and want to become Entrepreneurship so I can do my hobby. hindered by working in the office.

I guess the experience you've shared here captures the Africa situation with entrepreneurs/business owners on one hand and the civil servants on the other hand struggling to make ends meet. In all, it's a sad reality on both fronts as cost of running businesses in Africa has gone very high to the point that maintaining and servicing such businesses have become unsustainable. However, I rather become an entrepreneur than a salary earner.

But we know that marketing stuffs wont really be that simple and if it would be commission based then to those people who arent that able to make sales wont really be gaining something or getting some

extra and this is why it would really vary person to person since not all does have the skills even if you are been put up on the said position or job.Sooner or later you would really be replaced because this

spot would really be performance based which means if you arent doing well then you do know on whats next. Having a boss is neither pleasant or non but
for those people who are just limited in terms of skills and other opportunities, then they do really have other choice?

This your concept don't have anything to do with the economic situation of the country. I believe that the economic situation of any country, actually that's making it to be tougher is the management and the strategic ways of the way government of a particular country governor such environment.thats from my perspective. You answering boss, it's basically depend on your field of discipline.

You don't need to sell all your patrimony to invest in a self-owned business, though. If you really have a desire for being your own boss and driving the company by your own rules and goals, I think it may worth a try to start something small, just as an experiment. If the concept works for real and the generated profit is decent, you can grow it progressively within time.

On the other hand, if the business doesn't have any perspectives, you won't lose your entire funds on it, since it is going to be just an extra or side job.

We have to be responsible, but at same time we shouldn't disallow ourselves doing things that will be pleasant and even rewarding as learnship. Life is too short and to try new things is a very important aspect to keep ourselves in constant movement and renovation.

I don’t think this has changed much over the years in terms of creating and starting a business or choosing a “normal” 9-5 job “working for the man”.  I mean when you ask what’s the way forward, well if you think you can create a job that would be successful then I think it’s worth trying. But that’s just so extremely difficult to do.

But the thing is promotion nowadays is not already based on skills and expertise, but it’s more on political aspects wherein you need more big officials to back up your promotion, otherwise you’ll stay in rank and file position the whole time you’re employed. However, when you’re in entrepreneurship, your the boss and you can always free to make extra efforts to have a limitless source of income, as much as you’re capable to do it.

To be a successful Entrepreneurship is certainly not easy, it takes special skills and of course a long time, but I try to become an Entrepreneurship, time and financial freedom is the reason for us to become Entrepreneurship, while working is very dependent on the company which whenever and whenever we can go out .
