The more risk a person can take, the more profit he will make and improve financially. The risk is higher in business than in a job, so the possibility of higher income is also higher. It is possible to make the same amount of money in business in a day as a person earns in a month or a week by working.
In my view, you're conflating two different things here, which happens a lot when people glorify entrepreneurship over employment. Yes, the probability of a higher income in business is greater. But that’s just it, it’s only a
probability! We’re not talking about guaranteed income; we’re talking about the chance that it might exceed your salary. It could just as easily end up being the same or even lower. What is always higher, though, is the risk, but people tend to sweep that under the rug.
You are right. There is a risk because there is no guarantee that a person who quits his job to become an entrepreneur will earn a lot. There is a risk in starting a business but there is no guarantee that I will be successful. Rather doing a skill based job can be more financially viable because you do not need additional capital. No one can be sure of a guaranteed income. But if you can personally acquire expertise in a specific subject, you can work independently and the amount of income can be satisfactory.
Business is profitable but at the same time business is risky. If you compare business and job, then there is a good side and a bad side in job, similarly there are good sides and bad sides in business.
In job you usually get your salary for sure, that is there is no risk here, there is no fear of not getting money at the end of the month, here you will keep getting money continuously, this is a good side of job, but its bad side is that the income from it will be fixed. You will only get your salary, you will get the same fixed amount of money every month, there is no chance of getting more, you get a fixed salary and everything is spent in the same way every month, no extra money can be earned.
But in business there is a possibility of making a lot of profit, when you start making profit then it gives you a lot of profit, but there is no guarantee that your business will grow overnight and you will definitely get success by doing business. Because there is a risk here, just as there is a possibility of making big profit in business, sometimes you have to face financial difficulties. Due to various reasons, business suffers losses, and this is the bad side of business.
But the main truth is that if you want to achieve something big, you must do business, you can never build a good financial foundation from just a certain amount of money each month.
