Salary VS Profit

[hyudien]

If we dare to take the risk, it will be worth it with the potential profits that we can get. I think that's the difference for people who choose profits over salary, and personally, I prefer salary because I think profits can be obtained from a side business and we can run a business more safely if we already have a salary and meet all our needs in life.

Successful people are not immune to the significant risks they must first accept, risks that can significantly worsen their financial situation if they fail to build their business. So, even if the potential profits and success are commensurate, it's still not as simple as imagined. Risk-taking must be carefully calculated, considering whether we are truly capable and passionate about the business we're building, considering the competition, and whether the business is built for the long term.

And yes, to minimize all of this, maintaining a salaried job while building a business will make it more likely that we will survive failure. It's now common for salaried individuals to have side businesses.

In my opinion, both salary and profit are equally important, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If I had to choose, I would choose profit over salary. A salary is a stable monthly income with a fixed value. However, if you pursue profit, you have the opportunity to earn unlimited amounts of money, but the risk is that your income is unstable. Sometimes projects don't always come along, but when we get a project, we earn a lot of money because our income is unlimited. However, when our work doesn't go according to plan, the potential for loss is also high.

Nothing always comes easy but salary can be much better because by receiving salary every month then chasing Profit that you don't have guaranteed of getting profits always, that is the risk but if you know how to manage things your funds will be safe and you will used it in a responsibly way. Some people they don't invest or do business they just depend on salary and they work to get that, you can get profit buy taking risk like investing in bitcoin or any others things that you believe with it that can give you profit. Investment always have much advantage then salary if you are lucky in the investment money that you will get in one week that is what a salary will receive in one month, but if you have job and still have business doing you will see how your investment will be going smoothly without stress.

On point but most people won't accept the fact, instead of them to go for what they are good at, they will want to force themselves into what will bring them more loss instead of bringing profits.
Its important for people to always checkmate themselves in this essence to know what they are capable of doing before involving or taking action on their decision, in as much as all fingers are not equal, same goes with people, not everyone are meant to be investing and be profiting from it, some are meant to be working for others and be receiving their salary, because being in where you are meant to be, will make you to know what realize where you ability lies, which you can use it to make out or achieve your goals from it.

Reality is simple, salaries are not enough and most people do not want to live a poor life, and that is why they are afraid to take a risk but some of them feel like they have to.

Like I have a very small salary too, but I am afraid to take a risk and start a business, and that is why I just accept the fact that I am going to make less money, I may end up being forced one day in the future maybe, but so far I do not feel like that is going to change much so I will keep on doing whatever I do and keep my job and have a small but consistent life instead. I can see why people do not want that, it's normal, people want better life, and taking a risk to start a business may look better to them and that is understandable.

 In fact, I think it would build the business. We all work for our own benefit, and every move can lead to a budget increase or decrease, so you have to know how to manage and invest in the project or business.

[cutecui]

It's always good to have a plan B, because you never know what might happen... One day business might be booming, but the next day it could go badly. You always need to have something up your sleeve.

Even if there were a choice, I think more people would choose profit over salary. I believe this benefit is inherent in business, and this is where we face and experience many challenges. So, besides striving for excellence, there are also lessons to be learned. And with other things, as you mentioned, we can earn a profit that's greater than a salary, which tends to be a fixed amount.

Would people really choose profit over salary? The reality is quite the opposite, most people tend to accept a job with a monthly income rather than starting a business.
This is similar to the question of choosing between being a business owner and being an employee. Many people say they want to be their own boss and pursue profit, but in reality, they still choose to work for others.

I'm not surprised that many people say they would choose profit over salary, and while that sounds right in terms of desire, it doesn't accurately reflect our actual behavior.

Yeah, it actually depends on their perspectives. Some may see the salary that they received as their one and only way to their financial stability. While some may see business as a better source of income. Both are actually good, and they both have their advantages and the disadvantages. Most the most important thing is for you to do, is to focus on what is suitable for you and where you will meet your expectations. Is not everyone that have the mindset, power, capital, and the ability to invest in business in order to make profits, so it actually important for you to cut your coat according to your size.

OP what is the aim of this thread. Are you trying to compare salary and profit, because it's not clear to me.salary is something that people should not reply on because replying on salary means only one thing such a person will definitely struggle because with the current economic situation facing the globe people should look beyond salary.


People should look at business opportunities so that, they can invest into because profit can only be gotten when there is an investment. Profit should be prioritized above salary because salary is a prison that traps people for life profits give an individual freedom to do what ever that he or she wants.

In the comparison of profit or salary for me it depends upon the particular person's career stage. If someone is in the start of his career for him salary is good option. No risk factor is involved and through stable salary  he can save certain amount as an assets that he can uses to invest in future. While If we are talking about profit it is basically a longterm plan. starting new business it requires capital in the long run profit can be appealing because of course, in profit individual feel relax and can grow. So both salary and profit are important one is for give stability and other give growth and progress.

Many people choose salary work because earning profit is not easy. To make profit, one needs courage to start a business and face challenges without stopping. Being creative and thinking better than competitors is important.

Profit comes only after research, testing, and trying different ideas. Finding the right formula takes time, and only then money starts coming.

It is mostly those that don't understand the financial freedom that comes with having an investment that will think that it is not easy to make profit. They will quickly chicken out to get salary. Salary means we are working for other nand it maybe hard to gain financial freedom that profit do offer then working for someone else just because we need salary.

I think habit of people matters a lot because there are lot of people who are doing job because they are habitual to be slave and they want to get stable income because job gives an exact amount of money and business gives a different profit. There are lot of people who are earning good by doing business and they are running small business because small business is much much better than any big job because you have to do work according to expectations of person and employer want more and more work from you.   People need to understand their pattern to earn money because there are millions of people who want to be successful in business and they are selling garments and other items to earn money and they are studying at that time.

It will never be possible to achieve great success by just working and having a certain amount of money. Great success comes only through investment, your salary is a certain amount, but when you start an investment or start a business, it will gradually grow in size, your capital will grow, and over time it will become much bigger. If you want to achieve future financial freedom, you have to learn to use money correctly from now on. You have to earn more money by using money, if you want to grow, it is never possible to grow if you are limited to just a job, so take risks and invest, the financial situation is not always the same, so you have to try to create a financial foundation from now on by thinking about security in the future.

Salary vs profit,I don't think can be classified together.because salary is the wages been paid to the employee by the employer at the month end,for work well done.while profit comes out from a business angle,of surplus earnings that comes out from a business.after deducting your expenses from the revenue been made.

Salaries is more suiting for persons that are not willing or ready to take risk in doing business and loosing money to the activities that surrounds business. The downside is, you find these individuals building their entire existence about a budget and are limited by it but,
It’s not the same for a business person, they tend to be a lot more spontaneous and would have seasons of less and those of plenty. Their living isn’t exactly affected by a budget but they still would have one to ensure decisions aren’t made widely.

As someone who owns several businesses, I’d say there is a misconception that business owners have more flexibility and time than employees. People often look at the success and think it all started from there. They fail to realize that big company started with 3 employees, the owner talking on multiple roles and constantly working overtime on a business that may or may not succeed. Starting is profitable in the long run but it takes a lot of hard work, patience, sacrifice, and drive to make it work. Not everyone can afford to take such risks, that’s why they settle for the employee status and a pension plan.

I mean, most people probably want profit, and that comes from running a business. But the reality is that many people tend to accept jobs with a monthly income, and I think that's due to the economic situation. Everyone probably wants to make money, but not everyone can achieve it.

Don't you want to make your own profit? I do, but I haven't been able to achieve it, so I'm currently working for someone else.

[KeenanEl19]

Yes, you're right. For those who don't dare take risks in business, they're certainly suited to a salary, and even for those who are employed, some people still choose to work for a company, even if the salary they receive allows them to survive. Others might prefer business because they know the benefits, but behind that, there must be good money management.

I myself certainly want to own a business, but I haven't started one yet because there are many factors to consider, and I've also worked for someone else before to earn a salary.

Salary and profit sit on two very different sides of the financial spectrum and mixing them often creates confusion. A salary is predictable structured and exchanged directly for time and effort. It provides stability and removes uncertainty which is why many people choose it. That predictability allows planning but it also places a ceiling on growth because income is largely fixed unless renegotiated. Life under a salary often revolves around budgeting because income rarely surprises on the upside.

Profit on the other hand is variable and earned only after risk has been taken and expenses are covered. It carries no guarantees and no schedule. Some months bring abundance while others bring pressure. That uncertainty demands stronger discipline not less. Business owners who survive long term still rely on budgets even if their income fluctuates. The difference is that their budget adapts to cycles instead of fixing them in place. Freedom comes with responsibility not recklessness.

I'll take the example of many people who work in factories, not companies. They tend to receive a salary, and when payday arrives, they immediately go to the store to meet their monthly needs. Sometimes, some pay for a delivery service for a month. In my neighborhood, many people work in factories and are driven to and from work by someone, and there's a pre-arranged monthly payment.

You're right, as profits are not guaranteed, so this is where the difference between profit and salary lies. However, both involve cash flow, but the salary is used for necessities, while the profit is used for further investment.

[devlin85]

I suppose the intention is to show the advantages of profits over salary, I would start by saying that, although a salary offers stability and predictability, it does not allow growth, while profit has greater growth potential and is not tied to a fixed schedule.
However, it is necessary to take into account the risk required to obtain them and understand that consistency and long term vision are essential, I would consider both important at an initial stage, a salary can be the starting point to cover basic needs and also to finance an investment that allows generating profits.

[lornadane]

True. At the core, time ↔ money trade exists for almost everyone. Diff is how well you price your time—skills, leverage, negotiation, and risk tolerance decide that.
Problem is many ppl settle for “safe” bcz of background, family pressure, or fear of uncertainty. Jobs then become comfort cages. Stable, but limiting.

Not everyone can afford to take such risks, that’s why they settle for the employee status and a pension plan.

While most people only view the successful result of the Business Owner's hard work, they do not realize what it takes to get there. A new business owner must do all this: the business Owner manages everything, from building the product, to selling it, to providing the customer support, and must work many more hours per week than any employee without a guarantee of success. A business Owner usually sacrifices many years in order to build a successful and profitable business, and must handle all the stress, uncertainty, and risk involved. Thus, it is important to recognize that choosing to work for someone else and having a stable, secure job does not equal failure - it equates to a different, acceptable option.

It's always good to have a plan B, because you never know what might happen... One day business might be booming, but the next day it could go badly. You always need to have something up your sleeve. 

This is what normally affects some of the people that started business, i quite agree with you that today it will be blooming but tomorrow it will be opposite. This is a big lesson for everyone that is starting a business for the first time, the massive profits don't guarantee you to waste your profit, this is what kills some businesses around us, immediately they started making profits then just start spending the profit which is totally wrong. The most important thing in business is to get maximum security in terms of funds so that you can last for many years without collapsing.
