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

[Cryptodebjoe]

To be honest a lot of people will want to own their business but if you check the statistics of SMEs that have been folding up in recent times youll have a rethink as to the option to select... owning a business is by far the best option but i will have to be determined to put on the discipline, commitment and consistency required to build that business becuase its advantage is enormous..... thers no employee in the list of the richest people in the world... being n employee also limits your skills to be focused on only what your employer wants and theres little room for growth... but if i do my personal business im at liberty to expand the frontiers, make more money and even become an eployer of labour. the later is better for me

most of the time people lack the dare to start their business and talking about it - - many a time family and friend disheart them so much that they lose interest in their work.
Life is not the same always - some people start living their dream late - I am one of those variety.

You would really be hesitating due to these factors;

1. Doesnt have enough capital
2. You dont have idea on where you would be starting
3. You would needing to find out on where you do specialize at.
4. Afraid on taking up the risk

If you are really that determine on changing up your life in terms of financial then it is really that a common path for you to take and if you do like to play on the safer side
then you would opt in not to make any movement at all which most people would be prefering and to those who had tried at least could really be having the chance
on making their lives better in terms of finances which we do all hope or trying to attain.

Some of the small business people are doing is - soap making - handicraft and airbnb these business does not need much space and investment

I prefer to be a business owner. Although it isn't easy becoming a business owner in some countries especially the developing countries but hardworking and endurance, one will make it's one day.

[Keyreysek]

I will choose to be the boss/owner of the company.
this has been my dream since childhood, I want to build a company that can help many people, and can become jobs for many people. but the obstacle is that there is no business capital yet, and that is a big obstacle, I hope can get capital for business as soon as possible.

No one wants to be someone else's employee, but the question is how many will succeed in wanting to be their own boss. If becoming a business owner was as easy as we say, there wouldn't be the large workforce that exists today. There are many large, medium and small enterprises established, but not many can survive and develop. Billionaires are all business owners, but the number can only be counted on the fingers, so to succeed in business is not just words, or our simple thoughts.

Being eager for success and being able to equip yourself before taking your way and establishing your own business can end you up
with great success, it's not easy, but it is doable.

Most of us will choose to own a business and be the boss of our own, though not all of us are capable since there are many struggles
in starting a business, finances is most common problem then the ideas are the 2nd one.

But, if you have that good mindset in planning and you are really keen on learning the process, owning a business can be done.

Business owners also have their own advantages if the business runs smoothly and you are in the right country and there are not many rules that can interfere with the running of your business. And if you currently have the desire to become a business owner, you can try to manage a business with a small size first before you try to manage a large business and usually it will be easier if the business you are running is one that you are very good at and you like everyday.

As long as you have the desire to be the boss of a business or business, then you will always try to find capital to make a business happen and make you the boss one day when your business is really progressing. Because the first thing you have to do besides trying to get initial capital is that you have to survive when you are still not the boss of a business with an unyielding spirit, even though you might complain when you start to feel extremely tired at work.

Being an entrepreneur is a good choice, but you have to believe in it from the start, you have to be steady! Former employees "usually" just try to be entrepreneurs, then give up and go back to being employees again.

Without building a strong mentality and mindset as an entrepreneur, you will definitely not last long. Mindset is the foundation, never build without strengthening the foundation first.
Remember being an entrepreneur is about having capital, but a heart stability.

Yeah, I guess everyone would prefer to be their own boss and not having to work for anyone. I would say it is not an easy feat to start and run a successful business anywhere and not specifically in devolving countries.

As a newly created business, you would have to deal with already established businesses and companies that provide the same kind or some alternative of the services you provide.

Being a business owner isn’t a walk in the park. It would take a lot of time, dedication and time along with a lot of funds for capital. But over the years, if you keep at it, you would then have some profits coming in and that’s when being a business owner becomes enviable.

The question is why should give up? so you have to be an employee again. Even though when someone becomes an entrepreneur, of course he must be able to manage all the things he needs such as time, finances and also a marketing strategy that must be mature so that his business can grow and really progress.

Without building a strong mentality and mindset as an entrepreneur, you will definitely not last long. Mindset is the foundation, never build without strengthening the foundation first.
Remember being an entrepreneur is about having capital, but a heart stability.

Mindset, mentality and mindset are also initial capital apart from time and money that must be owned by someone if they want to become an entrepreneur. Because it not only serves as the initial foundation but also serves as initial capital to run the business in a planned manner in accordance with the road map that has been prepared.

I personally prefer to become a business owner right now. I can say that as for now coz I am still single and taking my time to build my own career. As we all know that being a businessman requires a lot of risks and sometimes it might end up being a failure, that is why it is much safer to be an employee although the risks aren't that high but atleast you'll earn decently, weekly, or monthly.

If I look into it carefully it could also be possible to do both being an employee and owning a business, although it will take so much of your time, but if you could pull it off then I guess the rewards are really good. I've seen a few people claiming to be a business owner and also an employee, some are in social media platforms nowadays just like Graham.

Not everyone can be able to do this all at once in their life. Because when you become a businessman, in general you have to make time for it. Likewise, when you become an employee elsewhere by following the rules made by a boss, of course you also have to make time for this. So this actually won't be so easy for everyone even if someone is able to do it, but the focus that must be applied to his business definitely won't be optimal because he won't have enough time to focus on the two jobs he's doing.

If I look into it carefully it could also be possible to do both being an employee and owning a business, although it will take so much of your time, but if you could pull it off then I guess the rewards are really good. I've seen a few people claiming to be a business owner and also an employee, some are in social media platforms nowadays just like Graham.

Which Graham are you referring to? Doing two jobs at the same time is good, moreover the amount of income can also be very extraordinary. But in my opinion there is no need to become an employee if you are already a businessman for your own business, because you can open another business by placing new employees and you can manage it more calmly. With the condition that the second business must also be able to really run even though it will not be as big as the first business.

[odunybiz]

Owing a business to me us the best. With this, you will become an employer employing people rather than being employed by someone. Just that most people get discouraged about establishing a business because of some Government policy.

[lobo13hf]

it actually depends highly at the income that you might get, being employee is fine if you're paid enough to have some money left for investments then you can slowly build your future there.
being businessman isn't always easy as it might seem, there's always chance that at some point you will face the brink of bankruptcy and than really suck the health of your body.
therefore both are fine as long as they are sufficient in fulfilling your basic needs and still gives you life that you wanted, even though being employee might be really boring.

[Vishnu.Reang]

There is one important difference between job and business. you can't sell your job, if get bored with your job then you can guit your job but when you leave the job then that job will given to someone else they are handed over all your previous work but you won't get any compensation for this. When you quite your job you give away your opportunity to someone else for free. This is not case in business, if you want to sell your company, you get handsome reward for it. So yes I always choose to be business owner.

[Kelward]

Like most people, I will prefer to own my own business, because I will be the boss. I get to make all the important decisions and when I make money, I get to decide how it is disbursed. Although it is not a guarantee that I am happier or making more money than somebody that is an employee, who works in a well established companies.

Although I think that a person can be both. Because some businesses don't need the physical presence of the owner to function optimally. So by all means, you can be an employee and also a business owner.

The overall goal would be to doing something that will guarantee you a secured future. Be it a business owner or an employee.

[cryptoknightt]

Either being an employee or starting your own business, both are good, but both have their own drawbacks, if we start a business, there are many risks that can occur, such as our unpreparedness in dealing with ups and downs where the company we are building is in a difficult phase and vice versa. employees also have their own drawbacks, a fixed salary might make us more calm in living life but work pressure, bound by company regulations are also one of the factors we sacrifice other things such as rest time, vacation time

[ichsan ardi]

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 

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!

if asked to choose to be an employee or a businessman of course I choose to be a businessman because it crossed my mind instead of looking for a job why don't I open up jobs myself I help more other people because I prefer to be a leader because in my opinion being an employee will it's hard to be free from financial problems even though the business won't always be profitable it can also be a loss what about you?
