Why people prefer Business over Job?

[flopnite]

I have been noticing from last 2-3 years on social media, in-person discussions and on random occasions that people have started too much praising to have a business of your own instead of a job.
Like, sharing business quotes pictures in the executive style. Why is that? I mean, I am a self-made man, I started doing job when I was 16 and until now I am doing the job at a very good place & yeah I can say proudly that I am happy with my life, I am able to pull everything, achieving my personal goals slowly. Yeah, it's true that I spent too much of my time in Office but the question remains the same.

It really makes me sick that people often taunt me with "You should have built your own business until now like, Mr. Dave's son did". WTF?

Why? Is it a disrespect to work for someone?

[flopnite]

If I am able to make 7-8 grand a month so why would I go for the business?

[pavlooster]

Sometimes people start their own business because they think that it will be easier and they will not have to do much to get money, what is, unfortunately not true.

[Nayem01536]

While in a job you have to fix yourself in the fixed time interval set by your employer, usually that is of 8 hours. But in your own business, there are no restrictions for you. You can work less or you can even work more to make more profits. So, this is one of the important reason why own business is better than a job.

[Charlie3]

business is how much we work hard we get that profit benefit is ours too it is permanent and business depends on how we manage and its our own we are the boss but in job how much we work hard company makes profit we are always workers

[henrique2018]

People want to be a boss. They do not like when someone tells them what to do. That is why they want to do business instead of having a job. It is easier to have job.

[ZackAdamss]

Most people nowadays would prefer to be their own boss instead of working for someone.

[Poloned]

If I am able to make 7-8 grand a month so why would I go for the business?

Going for business is to make an even higher income for yourself, or to even have a secondary income instead of just having 1 job depending on it.

[thirsten]

Working for someone else is the worst possible way to make a living. You are making the company way more than they are paying you, otherwise you wouldn't be there.

If you work for yourself you get to keep everything.

[hoverdrone]

Working for someone else is the worst possible way to make a living. You are making the company way more than they are paying you, otherwise you wouldn't be there.

If you work for yourself you get to keep everything.

You get everything along with the risk of going bankrupt and having to cope with it on your own. Companies actually take care of this stuff for you, you just have to work and that`s it.
Thus, one`s own business is very stressful as you have to face all the business problems directly - not everyone is ready for this kind of approach, sometimes it`s easier to let corporate Big Brother to take care of it.

[Ciscopro2000]

Many people want to be their own boss.  You work hard and can reap all the rewards.  With a job, you work hard and you get a set salary.  All the big rewards go to the owner(s). 

[SnowAugustine]

Because preferably, people want to be their own boss and not have someone ordering them around. Well, unless you're a follower and you need someone to tell you what to do.

[samescrew235]

Because not all people are comfortable being employed, and would rather be their own bosses. Plus, depending on the success of the business, you could potentially earn way more. Businesses run 24/7 unlike a 9-5 job.

[flopnite]

I read all the replies & I feel great that you shared your thoughts on my concern.
The reason why I ain't interested in doing business isn't because I am not capable of doing it. Instead, I am happy with what I am doing with my life & career. The place where I work gives me all the authorities, challenge the system, take initiatives and much.
The real problem with most of the people is that they take the word JOB ungrateful like it is a disrespect. If you are feeling this way then you don't deserve to be working there.
I mean think for a sec, if everyone starts doing their own business then who would they hire? Not everyone has the same mentality and you should be grateful for what you have because you are doing way better than millions of people.

[BTT4ME]

Because you can control your time unlike when you have the normal job.

[iBTT2]

Freedom from being tied to a fix work hours. Financial freedom that could lead to financial success.

[nicolaegut]

Because they are on their own and not can work when they want on their business and not go 5 or 6 days a week on daily job

[Hanna Kallis]

You get to be your own boss, owning a business saves you from having to work for anyone else plus after some years your business will be at a good level and your kids can start from there only and will find ways to expand more

[kriscamp]

When you have business your work schedule is flexible, when you have a job its not. Also, when you are ambitious you want to be first at everything, you don't want to have a boss. for artsy people it is especially important, because any restrictions make them anxious.

[Elqui]

It depends because when you have a high paying job it is okay to have that job. But if your profit is just exactly on your everyday expenses and your not saving any money, then its okay to have your own business.

[flopnite]

You get to be your own boss, owning a business saves you from having to work for anyone else plus after some years your business will be at a good level and your kids can start from there only and will find ways to expand more

I am impressed with the answer. But I don't want my kids to be a Silver Spoon Kids. I want them to be self-made like their Dad so they should know how much it takes to reach the level of success for which their Dad has worked for.

[chelsea_shell]

Some people especially Millennials despise the current system of the usual 9-5 and living from paycheck to paycheck. For them it's simple a form of modern day slavery of capitalism. And with your own business you could be your own boss and you control your own time and ofc there's a higher appeal when you have your own business. 

[LolaAnderson]

maybe they don't want to work for smby and prefer to achieve everything on their own. Also it's one of the best thing to earn some money and abgreade your business skills0))

[gembirdprivate]

Man creates education and environment, work gives only a small part of it.
If you earn money from childhood, prepare for the fact that you will succeed.
If you're with your childhood learning to perfect, get ready for the fact that you will be successful

[Sherwood_Archer]

Who likes being ordered around anyway?

[Lintormi]

I understand you. But don't take it too closely. Business seems to someone more profitable than just work. People are different, there is no right, someone chose a business, and someone else has a job and in both cases there is no good or bad. And the one who scoffs at such, they are just underdeveloped,everyone who knows how difficult it is to earn money will not scoff at others.

[niko337]

Everyone has their different level of comforts in life.

If every one runs a business. Then they cannot hire any staffs. If everyone wants to be employed... then they will be jobless.

When it comes to business... people always confuse self-employment and business altogether. Especially those MLM/network marketers.
Self-employment is basically spending a small sum of your money to make more money in return.
Real business includes having to lookout for the shareholders in the company. Having to pay the staff.  Having people relying on you to make a living.

So for a person earning 7k to 10k a month. It is comfortable. And such person may just like to do wharever they are doing. But if they are being thrust into self-employment... most of them may not last long. Don't even mention business.

So work on your own pace, walk according to your capacity and do not be pressured by peers who think working for others is low-life.

no, i don't think you wrong..u did well, caused you're enjoying your life now  no need bother what others said, just be back yourself

[raatnak]

If I am able to make 7-8 grand a month so why would I go for the business?

For some people even that isnt enough. Personally, I am on your side.

[Jcena55]

good for life

[FosterSofia]

Different people have different views about life. Some people like to live a tension free average life. So such people choose job over business.

Starting a business and making profit from it , is not a easy task. The chance of success is less than 10%.

Initial investment of business is very high. Middle class people cant take risk by spending there life savings on a business. So the will choose job.

At last business is an art….mastering in that art is no easy job, your college degrees wont help you to succeed in business. So people prefer a common root than a road less traveled.

[usticiann]

If you have a business, you get to be the boss. FWIW. If you have the best job in the world, you still are an employee. Most people love the idea of being boss. Power, even a little bit of it, is fairly irresistable. Wouldn't you think so?

[goldreset]

Certainly. However most of them do not see the the potential challenges in doing business and are often unprepared. so they went in and crash out.

[newwest]

Business makes you so much independent as whatever you do and how many hours you put it is for yourself and not for somebody else. You have so many challenges and you carve out the way how to resolve by yourself and as well you help in generating employment and help their family indirectly as well.

[PastorNick]

Not everyone, some people like a stable job, they have a gentle personality. Other adventurous people prefer to start a business and engage in finance.

[plr]

Well if you are comfortable with what you are doing and you are satisfied with the current job you have right now, there's no need to get annoyed with what people are saying to you, each of us has our own reason and opinion but the most important is you are good at what you are doing and you enjoy doing it, you cannot please everybody you have to go on with your life and enjoy.

[Xinarae*]

If you have a business of your own there will be no time limit for you if you have a job you have to follow the rules of the hiring authority. Which usually lasts eight hours but there will be no time limit on doing business you can work less time if you want again, if you want to work more time it will depend entirely on your own will enjoy life as you wish business income is more than the job.

[uttoransen]

This question is difficult for me to answer because I haven't ever done any job - I have always worked on my own business. However, if we compare then it is always people who do their job properly - makes the foundation for other people's success in business.

If you say that you have worked hard on a job for years - that means the owner of your company has made plenty of money from your hard work. Now he must have a huge business with more money and more people - just like you - working for him and making him rich.

Business is always better - but it is the other side of the same coin, if businesses don't have people like you - they will never have so much success.

[boyptc]

Not everyone, some people like a stable job, they have a gentle personality. Other adventurous people prefer to start a business and engage in finance.

True.

Not everyone is a risk taker like a businessman. There are those people that prefer to remain as themselves being an office worker or to stay with the profession of white-collar job.

But it's always the businessmen who's successful with his business who becomes rich.

when someone taunts you because you are an employee then reply to their taunts...

a good businessman will not want to mock those who live as employees because he understands that not everyone will be as lucky as him and able to build a business successfully. don't be ashamed that you are an employee because you do that sincerely and without regrets.

[Chato1977]

because it is very rare to earn good in Job compared to Business, becoming a Millionaire is rarely to happen in job related earning but of course in business you can achieve this in proper time.

I knew it because i am a employee of course.

[ethereumhunter]

I knew it because i am a employee of course.

It will need more years to earn a lot of money from the job but at least they have a stable income monthly and they can also start a new business to have additional income. Well, maybe they can not start a new business with a big budget, but they can work hard to earn much profit someday.

[Iron Fist]

People prefer entrepreneurship over employment as it requires taking up the responsibility of the work in the best way possible. When you are an entrepreneur, you have the freedom to work around the clock. You can decide to work at night or do the same while enjoying your personal life. Nowadays, students often have trouble finding jobs and therefore it is essential that they know the value of entrepreneurship. The best way to be able to have more flexibility is to start your own business, especially when you are a job seeker. You will also be able to take the initiative since you will be the business owner. This is the best option for job seekers as you can have full control over your life and future.

[m0nst3r0u5]

In every case job is not better than business

Ofcourse. But many would find it hard to manage both their personal businesses and jobs at the same time . What they do could do in this case is to find honest & skilled people to manage the businesses for them while  they focus more on their jobs. I know of a gentleman on youtube who is probably contracted by lots people to set up farms and manage them for his clients. That is kind of people the job people could contract to manage their businesses for them so that they could focus their attention on their jobs.

I prefer to be self employed by the way

[acener]

I also prefer business over job and my reason is I would be in control of my own time and I could spend more time on my family,
And also my family could help out on my business so it is better that way than to spend most of my life time away from my family.

Self-employed will be good if you are sure you can work better than working in the office. You can find many opportunities to make more money from your work and will have many relations related to what you did, especially if you can get the right partner to work with you. As long as you can work hard in any works you want, you will have a chance to get what you want.

there are businesses that starts small amount as capital but they made it high in the following years.
depending on our dedication and our perseverance .

and also our knowledge to the said Business that we wanted to start up.

I also prefer business over job and my reason is I would be in control of my own time and I could spend more time on my family,
And also my family could help out on my business so it is better that way than to spend most of my life time away from my family.

but the problem is? are you doing something to start it?

No matter how much our capital to start a business, we will make it bigger someday, as long as we do not stop trying and working hard. We need always to check what is popular around us and if necessary, we can search for what business that can work at all times without depending on the trend and many people are search and use that services. That is why we always need to learn and read many things related to our business to expand the business.

[Sajibchakroborty]

In my opinion people prefer business over job. Because on jobs there would be your boss above you. But on the business your boss is you. You don't have to be answerable to anyone.

you only live once so do it according to your wishes without feeling burdened with other people's thoughts.  there is nothing bad about being an employee when you are really satisfied with it, being an entrepreneur is not easy, there are many trials that occur, being an employee is a little more relaxed so don't be burdened with other people's thoughts..

[im posible]

Not everyone is lucky to have a smooth and rapidly growing business with a large income. And not everyone is lucky to get a job as an employee and have an economy that remains stable and sufficient. So in my opinion, be grateful for what you have now, to hell with other people's words, the most important thing is that we are comfortable and happy to live it and what we live is not wrong and harms other people.

[Mospeter]

To my own understanding, doing business or businesses gives one the power of control,he or she decides how to run the business and creates time for other engagements unlike jobs where you are answerable to a higher authority and need to work hard to be paid a specific amount but business profits varies...

nah, wages today are terrible they dont adjust to the inflation that is happening all over the world right now. You can start a biz with a low capital especially in the retail industry, buying and selling is a good to start.

[PreciousH]

Obviously some users prefer to business. As they want to be own boss of their company. They don't want to be around with someone and don't need any interference in their work. Some prefer job also as they are doing well and wants promotion.

[Ashad60]

In order to get a job, people have to work under others, but if a person can do business, then he has to work under himself, so when he wants, he can do whatever he wants.

[BADecker]

People should prefer business over job. Why? Because if they do it as a Private Membership Association, they are relieved of most government regulations, and can make a lot more money that would normally go to government for licensing, etc.

[DaNNy001]

I think working to grow your own company would be better than taking all day trying to please another person in the name of so called boss

[Kiresiura]

Doing business is to give yourself more freedom. A business will make you independent, control your time and earn a higher income for yourself.

[Celinena]

Because most people want to change their destiny, and it is difficult to achieve class leapfrogging in an ordinary job.

[Sanni_w]

People like me want free time to do whatever they want. So business is the only way to have free time to do whatever you want

[kzkazu]

Doing business by yourself can work according to your own plan, without too many constraints, and do what you like according to your own ability. The most important thing is to do what you like and make more money.

[Spi_lay]

Considering the present status of the world economy, business tends to be more productive than jobs because it creates room for daily profits.

[Car22]

People prefer Business over a job because in short time Business gives a huge amount of profit over job..
