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

[Unbunplease]

The problem with the career of a salaried employee is that he can always be fired, and then because of competition or age he will no longer be able to get a similarly paid position. A business owner - if he has successfully found his niche, he is more firmly established on his feet. Of course, the risk of the business owner is greater, but there are also many advantages

Exactly, but for sure once you've retired you have a savings that could open a business for you to still have an income. Engaging in the work especially if your company is all about business which you can adapt and establish your own business. There's type of people who prefer to work their ass off until the very end there's people who work to have a business soon.

As an employee, we have a secured steady income that we can receive every pay day. Being an employee we have benefits given by the company like health insurance, retirement plans, mandatory benefits etc. The disadvantage is we have less control over our work schedule and the direction of the company.
Being a business owner you can manage your own schedule and you can rule the company the way you wanted to. You also have greater and wider responsibility for the success of the company.
If i will be given a chance I will do both career but of course i will make sure that there would be no conflict between the two. But if the business became successful I would stick to the growth and success of the business.

There's always a different perspective from different type of people around.

If given a chance, having a business is mostly what people will choose as they can established good financial stand once they found the right venue and right kind of business that they'll going to take.

While with some other people, either they don't have any chance to choose and they are always big obligations that need to address, that's why they end up working on a daily basis for the rest of their lives.

I would like to start my own small business at some point in the future. That said, I think that it takes some experience as an employee, to be able to see how things work in an organization, and only then one should consider starting their own business. For example, I was a freelancer for a while, then I found a full-time job, and I hope soon enough I will be ready to take the next step.

It is a great thing to start a business, learn how a successful business works by working in a successful company until we are intellectually and financially prepared to build our own business

[cafee_orange]

personally I would prefer to be someone who owns his own business, owns his own shop or restaurant. Being a business owner will certainly be very easy to help anyone who needs a job.
as it is now, I am the owner of a food store, thus I have employed 5 people, including 3 women and 2 men who are able to work in teams. from here I am motivated to add workers and make my business ownership to continue to grow and be able to employ more people. By becoming a business owner, I can help those who need work

Of course, the character of the person must also be taken into account. Some people, despite their ambition, can be good performers but cannot become leaders. They have to literally change themselves to be able to lead others (even if they have the necessary level of knowledge and ability).

this seems the rightest option honestly, there are so many reasons why starting out career first always recommended, we quite literally start getting connections from these career, we need to know these succesful people and the only effective way is through building career in which gonna let us know many of these succesful people and then after that, after knowing the mechanism of business we could simply build our own.
honestly building business without proper knowledge only spells destruction, not knowing the mechanism of business will hinder the growth, most of the time as I've seen those that build succesful business on their own are former of the large corporation employee like FAANG.

Its a matter of choice actually on which there are people who could be able to handle and accept or bare such risks and this is why they would really be risking out on having a business or investment.
There are some who cant just bare out with the risk and just decide to work for the rest of their lives and doesnt really want to involved such risks. Its a matter of choice on how you would be handling
up yourself and make for the better. If you dont act then you wont progress.

All of us do really wish up on having a good financially free kind of life on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be finding ways on how to make it happen.
Business does have that high risk but something to be rewarding once you do able to get a good hand out of it. You shouldnt really be that
impulsive and be careful when making up decisions.

It’s obviously better to establish your own company but while on the planning process, you can decide to work for someone to raise capital

Working for someone may be Favourable in some cases as you may not have what it takes to establish your own business, Capital, structure, managerial skills, etc

Again, the time it would take your business to grow to the level of high returns when considered might just be a turn off, so most people would most likely want to settle for monthly salary

The harsh reality of being employee is you have no FREEDOM which I really do not like. You can't absent without your boss permission, you can't eat whenever you want because it is not your lunch break, you cannot do what you want to do because you can be fired, you should follow your strict schedule when you will go to work and when you will go home, you cannot scale your income and because you do not have a power and only the boss have. These are just examples of disadvantages of being an employee but there is also an advantage for those people who wants to feel secured because they can an monthly income that they can use to buy whatever they want and they need.

But still I do not want to be lock in the rat race and that is why I prefer to become a business owner who have Freedom and the one who have power over the organization. If you are the owner you can absent whenever you want, you can eat whenever you want, you can do whatever you want to do because you have employees that are working for you. Basically you have FREEDOM and that is what I want. So what do you like guys between the two?

Being the entrepreneur,my opinion will be owner of the firm.But it’s not the easy task for the ownership,you need build yourself with the modern technology.Because to survive in the market,you should advance as compared to the other people.Because they are your competition in the field,even learn something from them.All the people had their own skills and some talent.Use that talent to earn money.When you are a multi talented person,it’s essential for the people to use their time in various things instead of stuck at the single one.So their earnings will get into multiple of their normal business income.When the earnings was increased,you can do more startup with the huge profits.With my experience the earnings from business as compared to the regular monthly income.

I don't know what others think about this but my own thinking is to start with a job first and then start a small business along with that job. And upgrade slowly while keeping that business job running, then take the next step according to the outcome. When the business situation is a little better, more focus on the business than the job, i.e. I can leave the job if I want to.
And thus the main reason for choosing both business and job is for a stability, and since everything big starts from small, so is my choice. And if I see that most of the big businessmen in the world started by being the employer of others, so I myself see this way a lot.

As interesting as this topic is, there would be many views and personal perspective from different people which is quite alright with me.

However, I have come to realize that many people fit in to many activities in life just to stay abreast and connected to the main stream. A career is good and a business is welcoming.

I believe building a business takes patience and time which not every body has that calms and chills to handle it and instead, would opt for a paid job for survival but it doesn't ends there.
I have come to realize that most people prefer government jobs. Why? because of the time they would need for their own personal business which means that even while working as an employee, people still run their various businesses through proxy and this is basically seen in the government institutions because they have time and are not under any pressure to work so they devote that time to their own personal business.

Just like the majority, most really need to be an employee at first since not everyone has the capacity to make themselves have all the resources that they need such as capital for a business. Business is a risk so before taking into this, a great paying job as an employee is a great start to make ourselves financially stable enough for us to embark into the world of business. So, personally, I would prefer for now to be an employee since that is the best for my case and situation and I just really hope that I can have my own business in the future since I'm the type of person who actually do not want to be an employee forever.

Of course, being a salaried employee first, you will gain some experience and connections. The main thing is whether or not you decide to go freelance afterwards. A salaried employee has much less responsibility and problems. The business owner has to live on the job, otherwise his business will not be successful.

A career as a businessman for me because being a businessman we have control over our work and time, As a businessman it has a greater potential to earn more money. Being a businessman is risky because we need to dedicate more time and effort to our company. As we all know if we stay as an employee it is hard to achieve higher goals because we are dependent to the stable salary that we are receiving. Thats why i choose to be a businessmen so that i can reach the goals that i wanted.

[Iadegbola34]

I agree that everyone has their own preferences and strengths, and it's important to find what works best for you.

As for the choice between being an employee or an entrepreneur, it ultimately depends on the individual's goals, interests, and risk tolerance. Being an employee can provide stability, benefits, and a steady paycheck, but may not offer the same level of control or potential for financial success as being an entrepreneur.

On the other hand, starting your own company can be rewarding and provide opportunities for personal and financial growth, but also involves more risk, uncertainty, and responsibility.

It's important for individuals to carefully consider their options and make a decision based on their own values and goals. Both paths can lead to success, and there is no one "right" choice.

As much as I hate being employed and work under someone there was nothing that i can do about it, your journey needs to start from somewhere, you need to at least make some money or some funds before you can stand on your own and maybe create your own company or start your own business or whatever but you have to start from somewhere.

You will have to be employed at first even if you don't like it or you have promised yourself to never work under anyone, but I spent most of my life working under a boss and I work a lot until I realise that is not worth it and I spent most of the money I made from my jobs on myself to take good care of myself because as hard-working as I was at that time it affected my health.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Right from my young age, I've hated working for people, I've always dreamt of employing hundreds of people, though in my journey through life, I've worked for several companies, but in all my years of working for those companies, one thing that have always been on my mind was how I would start my own company some day.

Though I am not there yet as of today, but that dream is still here with me, owning big businesses around the world is a target I hope to achieve before I turn 70 , and to achieve this, I am happy I have a business I am currently managing today, and growing bit by bit, and I've never been more happier in my life, I choose to own my own businesses over working for other people, simply because, it's what I love doing.
