A career - as an employee or a business owner which do you prefer and why?

[AndySt]

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.

A striking example of these approaches is the fate of Ronald Wayne, who, along with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, was the third co-founder of Apple. He did not want to take risks at the beginning of the company's work and sold his share of it, missing his chance to fabulously get rich then. This path is not strewn with roses, success is achieved by a few and not always purposefulness allows you to achieve this goal. The same Jobs tried to bring Wayne back to the company again, when money was urgently needed, but Wayne was adamant. Therefore, a lot depends on the character.

Of course, no one wants to work for others, everyone wants to be the boss, but the problem is that they don't have the talent to be a leader, so many people still accept them as employees. Employees or business owners will have their own difficulties, with employees, you will work on the orders of others, you do not have the right to do as you please, but in return you will not have to worry to maintain the company. And for business owners, the problem they face is not small, finding ways to maintain and develop the business is both a problem and a huge pressure.

whole of my life I worked for other and never. made enough money - then I started doing small businesses - and I didnot earn either.
Because I always spend foolishly and that is why I dont have enough funds - but I am trying to change my habit. but since they are solid by now - I can't help myself.

public dealing is one of the most difficult things.
Once you start running your business - you realize that world is so cruel and when you were an employee how you used to work like
Honest people are in demand everywhere but they are hard to find.

[Woodie]

Well it all depends with one's risk appetite and things like how comfortable you are with the pay... If you like risk then being the business owner will be the right choice and if you don't want to be in the frying pan and taking things on the easy then being an employee is the choice for you but everyone would certainly want to be the business owner as there is more money to be made there, you call the shots and it's pay is unlimited(no cap) unlike being an employee, but unfortunately not all days will be rainy days which means employees go home with a little take home package and you as the boss can survive without a paycheck in some instances if business isn't going well.

To be the boss demands too much responsability and smartness. Not everyone is capable of being the boss when having to make decisions that will impact the future of the business. Few decisive mistakes will completely ruin the business, and it's not that hard to commit them when you don't have enough experience or lack some social skills to deal with the public. For that reason, people still prefer to be employees, because it's simpler, more stable, doesn't demand extra effort, and payments always arrive in the end of the month or the week.

The business owner or boss, in other words, is just tired of thinking that the business must run smoothly without experiencing any obstacles so that their income increases and they can pay all their employees at the end of the month. Whereas employees only think about their work in a timely manner which is of course different from a boss, so this is where the difference lies and also the pressure on each of them.

If you look at it basically, the boss of a business or entrepreneur who is already successful and has employees also moves from below where he has also been an employee of other people in the past or when he was not yet a boss. So he already knows what it's like to be an employee by continuing to take orders from his superiors so that there are things that might not need to be a burden for employees so that employees can continue to feel comfortable working with him for a long time.

Yeah, a whole lot of people would likely choose to be their own boss cause they think it’s a rosy and easy path to becoming successful. Well, it may be a rosy and easy path now, but that wasn’t always the case.
Having and managing a startup is never easy. It takes a whole lot of time, effort and a shitload of capital in order for the startup to actually stay afloat.

Not everyone could successfully start and manage a business as it takes a certain skill to be able to manage a business and people(employees). Knowing that there are bigger and better competitors out there would deter most people not to delve into business.

being a boss is not an easy task - I run a small Airbnb property and I am a detail oriented person.
And took my sweat and blood most of the time to take care of all the task - since I am poor and I have to clear things on my own. But being a boss is not easy.

Being a boss is never an easy alternative to working as an employee. As a boss, you wake up everyday knowing that every decision you make today can make or ruin your business but as an employee your level of commitment is limited. You only have to worry about your input and the pay at the end of the month.

that is correct - but that is how we learn - I am no longer a same liener sweet person I was before and I am proud of it.
I am not more rigid and reserve - thanks to my small business -  injected myself with vitamin N - where N stands for NO

I think there is a good distinction of why people want to be their own boss, and we are missing one important aspect of it. Not many people want to be their own boss because they want to have more money and think it's easy to do so, most do it because they overgrown the place they work at and can't find a CEO job neither, and won't be paid what they truly worth (or at least in their mind) and that is why they want to open their own business.

Let's be honest, these days workers are underpaid almost everywhere, so if you could start a job related to the business that you do, then you could make a lot more, yes it will be harder, but it would at least mean more money and would worth how much you work, even if you fail, at least it would be because of you.

there is crisis and there is loss everywhere - all the businesses are being affected terribly  - business owners are worried and the employees too are not able to make their ends meet. Hence it result in crime and other on job problems. Patience is the key - on both the case - either you are an employee or a business owner.

Instead of what you are conveying this is a natural or normal thing from the behavior of a boss or leader. So this doesn't surprise me with what you describe. but a boss should have a good idea and the right way to make a big move on everyone.

The fact is that we cannot continue to follow other people's paths. It's true that being the boss of yourself and others is a very good thing to do and it's the most comfortable way to make life better. But on the other hand we also can't force what we don't control.
Qualifications in our life are all different and sometimes we cannot follow what other people can do because it could be that our way is not to be there (Being a boss) even though humans are the place to try but still we have to realize that our own qualifications are better.

"If everyone can do it, everyone will do it". If we all decide to be our own boss who then would remain as the employee? The fact remains that, not everyone is capable of doing so well on their own without a superior person to put them in check. Therefore, people like that will remain as employee regardless of what their qualifications is or what they have on their portfolio. Albeit, they can seek for better pay for what they're actually worth.

Therefore, we must know about our own qualifications because this is indeed important when we want to do something. Even though the desire to be a boss exists for everyone, it cannot be done by everyone because as you said, we can't all be bosses because this can disturb the harmony at work, of course.
So even though our lives are in control, we must know the limits of whether we are able to do that or not, because in this case, forcing is not a good thing.

The point is you have high thoughts and feelings for the members you will develop. Everyone can be appointed as a boss but not for leaders who are perfect to help or can find solutions to what they are doing.
