Salary VS Profit

[virasog]

Both salary and profit are both rewards for actions. Think about it; salary is paid in most cases just twelve times a year, yes twelve times, profit on the other end can be earned any day, and any time of the year, off course a return on investment.

Salary can be seen as a quick fix, working and expecting to be paid mostly at the end of a given period. Another thought is; salary is mostly paid by profit earners.

A steady turnover of profit in most cases is as a result of consistent entrepreneurial  effort.

The volume and impact of a salary and profit is incomparable with that of profit.

Plus what is reinvested from salary and profit is a big margin, it is more likely to reinvest a large chunk of profit, than that if a salary which is mostly used to pay accumulated bills.

Profit over salary, any time any day!

Is like you are asking btw job and business which is far better , imo I will go with business well in job you have a fix amount you are working , does not increase unless you rank up or got promoted or something , and you don’t have to pass through the stress of trying to sustain or manage your business, because that role is meant for entrepreneurs. But when it comes to you being a business owner like a profit earner , your earning ain’t fixed , it’s boils down to many factors , like for instance you owned a shop wear you sells fit (like dresses , shoes , etc.). .So your profit boils down to how many sales you made that day .

When you say that there is no stress in the jobs then not all jobs are like that. Since artificial intelligence is getting popular and integrated in the businesses many of the jobs people are losing because of the AI and this is great stress for those who are working on Jobs.

Business on the other hand get flourished and you are very much less stressed and you mostly get more profits as the business grows. I think if you have capital with you it's best to start a small business and over the passage of time you can develop your business into a respectable level where you will get financial freedom.

If you make so much from working, the difference between profit and salary become blurred.
You can be earning 1m++ as a high ranking execs and you'd make multiple folds of the profit and your reinvestment yield massively.

This comparison is just futile and have no meaning at all. Just because you receive salary doesn't mean you gonna get broke forever.
There's career ladder to climb if you favour working as a way for the higher up to incentivizes workers.

Security is the illusion of predictability in the form of salary. Profit is volatility, the reality of exposure. Dependence packages one and autonomy packages the other, which is risk. They are both rewards though they reward different things: compliance and initiative

There is a tendency of people to consider one of them as being superior to the others. Profit will go indefinitely, all right, but it also falls indefinitely. Salary is limited, yet also secured (at least until layoffs). It is more to do with how every type of reward traps us into a particular worldview than "profit > salary". Salaried individuals tend to view time as something to exchange, profit makers tend to view time as something to buy. Same 24 hours, radically different ontologies of life

And you are correct, the reinvestment margin counts. Wages get washed down in bills as it is set up this way (housing, healthcare, debt repayments) all programmed to eat wages. Profit enables surplus because it is what appears after expenses. Nevertheless, are we blaming individuals for not reinvesting salaries, or should we ask why wage structures themselves are engineered to keep workers at zero-sum?

To be fair, I can understand both of those. Because when you have salary, usually your effort is not paid 100%, meaning if you work X amount, you are not earning exactly what you are worth, if you were, then how would the company make a profit out of you?

Normally we can't calculate exactly how much one person makes a company, but a good number would be if you make 100 dollars for a company per day, you should get 80 dollars of it, or at least aim to get that, most are paid under that level because there are others out there who would be willing to accept less, which creates issues for the workers, and have to accept less.

But when you work for yourself, you get 100% of what you deserve, and if you believe you deserve more, than starting a business is better than being a worker, the unfortunate reality is that some realize they aren't deserving more.

You are basically implying own business over a job which I agree with. Salaries however come with securities and less stress of managing a company, one's focus is only on the job they are assigned to.

not to mention what most of us do not have enough of is money. not all of us have enough money to start our own business with. and once you build your own business, you cant be too relaxed yet because you need money to sustain it while you wait for your business to start earning and for some businesses it takes months even a year before they start earning more than what they have started with

It's paid twelve times in bad countries but it's paid 13 and 14 times in good countries.

Profit over salary, any time any day!

Salary is paid by profit earners but when you say that you choose profit over salary any time, believe me, everyone prefers profit but there is a big difference. In order to make a profit, you have to start your own business. It's not easy to start a business. Many people think it is but it's not really because there are so many challenges in front you and one of the worst challenge is to find good workers. It takes lots of time and money to build a successful business, many businesses work on loss for years before they profit and if you aren't rich, it's almost impossible to feed the business with lots of money every month.

[Ryu_Ar1]

What I gather from your statement is that you indirectly want to suggest that doing business can be much better than working for a monthly salary.

Under certain circumstances, this might be understandable, but that doesn't mean everyone can do the same thing with the same mindset.
You are only looking at the profit prospects, but what about risk management in business, where there will definitely be many failures if we are unable to handle it.
And what about the issue of initial capital, because certainly not everyone is ready with the initial capital, which ultimately hinders the business.

It's not that I don't want to do business in this area because I'm still working at the moment, but on the other hand, I realize that when we want to try a new area of business in terms of services, there are many things we need to consider. Of course, this situation is not as easy as one might imagine because there are many factors that need to be taken into account to support something, and when people don't understand the ins and outs of business, in the end, instead of making a profit, we ourselves who may end up with problems because we have no foundation in doing business but try to be more aggressive in our actions just because we want greater profits than we expect.

Salary and profit are two different things, so one cannot be compared with the other. To get a salary, you get a salary from the profit of another person by working on his profit and bringing him profit. But when you want to get a direct profit, you have to do your own work and build a business, which is not easy at all. But if you have the willpower and you think you can and if you have enough financial backup, then of course you can start a business with a risk that will give you several times more profit than your salary at a time. And at the same time, you will get a lot of freedom that you will not get in the case of salary income.

[Moreno233]

The right comparison should be between working to earn salary and running your own business because if you compare salary to profit, there will be some complications since salary by itself can be profits when you earn more than your expenditure to do the job. Secondly, it is not every business that makes profits at some point so it will be wrong to assume that all businesses are profitable. Nevertheless,  I still prefer running my business and growing with time than working for someone else to earn salary. Working for someone I mean is the conventional white collar job that takes your entire time and pay you to forget your dreams.

Profit over salary, any time any day!

Op, you have highlighted the difference between a job and a business in your article. If someone can make a business stand after hundreds of hardships, then his hardships will be worthwhile. A businessman can employ hundreds of employees from the profits earned from the business. But it takes a lot of time and hard work to take that business to a higher level. Many businessmen get frustrated when they do not get success in business.

On the other hand, a salaried employee in a job can limit himself only to his salary. He has to work within a certain limit and cannot spend beyond that limit even if he wants to. However, he limits himself to the amount of money he gets and maintains the balance of his income and expenses accordingly. He has a disciplined and worry-free life.

However, these depend on the wishes of a person. Some want to keep themselves independent by doing business, while others want a disciplined life through a job.

Profit over salary, any time any day!

Huh? Are both Salary and Profit comparable to one another?
Let's think the other way around.

Yes, salary might only be given 12 times a year, sometimes 24 (twice a year), but that's considered "STABLE" income. Profits from being an entrepreneur might be earned daily, OR IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN AT ALL. Don't look at it as some kind of magic where if you tried to be a businessman, you will earn profit that easily. There are people that are meant to be businessmen, and there are people that are meant to be employees, and as long as both are happy then I don't see anything wrong about it. You might get profit, or you might not get some at all. In short, it isn't fixed. It isn't stable, and the risks are higher compared to having a salary.

Well, you can earn even more if you prefer having a profit than having a salary, but the risks are way higher, and there might be a chance where you will spend more money on it, but you will not have any return whatsoever.

[SATWAT]

You can both earn a salary and generate profits through various investment instruments. If your salary is high and you can meet your basic needs and save extra money, then you can invest. Whether you profit depends on the circumstances and the type of investments you make—in fact, it depends on many things.

You can lose money, and making a profit isn't easy. To make a profit, you need to experience losses many times before and learn the right path and strategies, a long journey.

Yes, going for profits along with salary is the best possible option at least for me. I can never think about quitting my job just to hunt profits elsewhere. I can instead start making profits while having a fixed salary every month. This way, I get the perks of having a fixed money and also have profits by investing a part of my salary in any profitable venture.

Even if I have loss there, I can still survive with my salary but imagine if we have no salary and are totally depending on the profits, what will we do in case of a loss? Our financial situation will be fully devastated and it will take days or maybe months for us to recover and fulfil our financial needs before starting to make profits again.

This is a job that leads to two different lives because with salaries our house will run smoothly and if we look at it with business then the house will always be beautiful and with good morals. If we try to save something from salaries then it is really right that there will be shortage in our houses which can also spoil our environment. This decision is very right. Those who think that we will have money on this date and it will be quite a lot but in business money comes every day and if we look at it sometimes so much money is made that more money is made in that day than the person doing the job. But some people consider it okay because they do not have the talent in their mind to make it big which is why they do such work.

Both salary and profit has their advantages. But the thing about salary is that it is constant and every workers must be expecting it every month. But as for profit, if the market doesn't want well, you won't be able to make any profit, hopefully if you didn't loss.

But in a situation whereby by an individual is doing perfectly fine in the market and gaining more profit, there is no way you will compare him or her to a salary owner. Because, luckily within a week they can earn what some salary earners earn monthly.

You are just overcomplicating things, what are you trying to say? That profit is massively better than salary, what will this do for you if I may ask? What you don't understand is profit is also on level base.

Someone who trade with a dollar and make two made profit, but what can an extra dollar do? Some salary earners make alot too, I know a man in my town who is based in the US, he is an expert in technology aspect and his job is related to this field too. This man makes $30,000 every month as salary.

I am still a mediocre trader, and I have had some good times in trading where I make good money but I've never make this amount before in a month, I believe that both salary and profit are not very far from each other, they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

But some people consider it okay because they do not have the talent in their mind to make it big which is why they do such work.

I see it from the perspective of someone's desire and it's true as you said that this is about talent because sometimes someone can't do many things to earn money so they only rely on the salary from the work they do, and in my opinion there is nothing wrong with that and it can't be judged, this is the same thing because the goal is the same regardless of the path they choose.

[fruktik]

Many don't see salary as the best option because it confined them to earning a limited amount of income under a specific range for long, while if you engaged in doing your own business, you can earn more than you salary could give, but the two both has their advantages and disadvantages, you may never appreciates self profiting if the market or business you run is not moving, you may not earn anything

You also forgot to add a very important point. This is the government's influence on business. One official decision can lead a life's work to complete ruin. That's what happened to me. I worked on my brainchild for almost eight years, but at one point, the idiots at the helm of government wanted more foreign land, which led to sanctions that hit me very hard. Ultimately, the business collapsed, as international relations with certain countries were impossible. That's how it happens.

[pusaka]

This comparison is just futile and have no meaning at all. Just because you receive salary doesn't mean you gonna get broke forever.
There's career ladder to climb if you favour working as a way for the higher up to incentivizes workers.

However, this can happen if the company we work for provides opportunities for career advancement. I've experienced companies that simply exploit us, while not giving us the opportunity to advance to a better position. This happens because certain positions are already filled by people with family ties to high-ranking company officials.

However, I don't generalize that all companies are like this, as some companies can provide opportunities for us to develop based on our abilities.

Profit and profit can be analyzed in two different ways, especially the payment of money to an employee in exchange for services after a certain period of a job is called salary. It can be monthly or weekly but daily salary is not paid. But if you analyze in the case of profit, then you must have received it as a return on any investment at any time. An employee receives a salary and if he reinvests a certain part of that salary, then he will definitely get a return on that reinvestment. But in reality, an employee cannot get profit along with his salary, as it may require extra effort.

[Oluwa-btc]

Salary and profits are relevant differently,salary is important because it offers financial safety,structure,and a foundation for long-term planning.Profit is important because it fuels growth,builds wealth, and sustains both businesses.
Salary is Short-term for safety & survival,Profits is Long-term for wealth & independence.

Profit over salary, any time any day!

Salary vs profit is same as job vs business and I can see the comparison, both are important in there own ways. Business gives you security and you can rely on it anytime any day because it comes frequently and salary or job on the other hand doesn't give you the value or usefulness an individual needs because it may be frequent but most times it doesn't last long. A profit earner has the ability to do things according to their desire and yes some days are bad in business but it's nothing compared to having to work your butt out for a whole month before you get your payment and sometimes you won't even get paid until the next month.
