Must everyone venture into business?

[alani123]

Your success in business happens at the expense of other people not being in business.

There's a need in beetroot? People need the vitamins and nutrients to live, right?
But city people don't have a garden. So what do you do? You buy land and start selling the produce to them.
Beetroot is a necessity to the people but you aren't in it for the ethics, you're in it for the money. So you'll charge as much as you can.

Of course you aren't the only unethical actor in this because almost the whole of society is operating under these principles. So called competition in the market might force you to lower your prices or even close down, but unless there's a profit incentive, under the current economic system only governments and central management can sustain the supply of good long term.

Thus we realise that not everyone can be in business. Some people need to actually supply the labour for the production of goods. And business acts in a kind of parasitic way to production even.

Actually this question is a bit weird knowing that lot of people are looking for a diverse way of earning an income, whereby they would be looking for business to do in other to sustain themselves. But one question I keep asking is that “must everyone venture into business“?

The reason why I draw this question was as a result of someone I knew too well that wasn’t able to maintain the business he owned. Every two years he kept jumping from business to another yet no results to show up about becoming successful through that business.

What contribution you would you give to someone like this?

The reason why some people do different kind of business is because they believe that if this doesn't work out for them, another one will work out for them somehow. This is the believe that is motivating some people to never give up despite the challenges that they are facing, either in business or any other source of incomes. OP I understood what you're trying to prove, but the truth is that, if capital is not involved in business, many people will be handing their own business (a lots  or majority of people will be a business owner by now), but it is the capital that is stopping them from starting a business. Everyone loves freedom, and the only way to give yourself that, is through self-employment. Being self-employed will save you from different kind of work stress, that's why some people love, prefer or always wish to be their own boss, but time didn't permit them.

Businesses are opportunities to make money, and i will advise anyone to make good use of these opportunies,  some become successful while some don't because of their weakness or some other reasons, so the whole point is that businesses and opportunities are open for every one and it's good that they are involved in different types of business. But at the end of the day, it is not meant for everyone, some will make good use of it while some waste the opportunity,

So to me I I don't think the question is well placed, everyone should go into business and see how successful they can be, its more of a financial advice.

The better question should be "is business meant for every one?"

Regarding the question you first asked when the topic was first introduced, it is very important that we understand this as we proceed further, I would like to state that not only must everyone indulge in business but as a matter of fact everybody is in the businessof life  already in one way or the other,

But the big question here is, to what extent or how much does one understand the nature of the business they are involved in, and how committed are you to ensuring that you succeed in that particular venture, these are the factors that determine if one has to succeed in any given business.

Certain people will want to start their business while others will want to run a day job.

There is nothing with either one. As long as you love what you do and you are satisfied with the pay, the latter being a personal choice, it is fine. Nobody can force you to do something that you do not find enjoyment in.

But the thing is that in jobs you might not have much of a voice to speak with unless you get promoted to high levels while in a business you have that which again comes with other mode tedious responsibilities.

It's a thing of choice anyways, some would prefer a day job while some will prefer a self own business, it depends on how one pleases, but if I'm to make a choice I would rather prefer a self own business than a day job, I've got my reasons I don't mean to discourage anyone like I said it's a thing of choice, but going into self own business will be much better and you don't just venture into business because othera are doing just fine from it, you will have to get the eyes for it you might just regret it after all.

There is no one size fits all answer to the question of which is better, between a job and a business. The freedom of business is appealing, but it also brings with it uncertainty and responsibility, as well as income fluctuations.  It's not fair to start up a business simply because someone else has done it and been successful. The first thing you should do is to know your own capital, and the market you are about to join. I would recommend beginning slowly and building up on the results. After all it is a job or a business, and what is important is what is suited to you.

It's a free world, anyone can get into what they want, either business or a work experience. They could decide to try something new if the other does not work out well.

But if someone takes a proper check and plans things well, just maybe, they may not be running from one post to another. It reminds me of the old statement, 'jack of all trades, master of none'.

Somehow, it is not also good to jump from one place to another. People should know you for a particular thing, not almost everything. People can get there own resolutions on what they want to do. But business is not for everyone, because business is not for the weak. Business is very tasking, and anyone who is not ready to sacrifice, serve and upgrade his services will not grow in business.

People always have the love to start up business but they may not have the Charisma to keep the business running for long time, and yes people do clamors for additional source of income where they would start going into different businesses just for them to keep income coming. Many would do all it takes them but, are somehow being distracted because already they have no business idea in regards to the type of business they are jumping into. They may hear that Mr. A ventured into that particular business and became successful but they wouldn't know the stress, difficulties in that particular business before they become successful.

Sometime the condition at which people find themselves may be the reason why they don't consider before venturing into the business they invest in. The truth is that not every one can manage the stress attached to the success attributed to the efforts needed in the business. There is need for strategies applied in every business and having a target audience is also part of the things required for a business to grow and flourish. Connecting with people with influence that will bring more customers and therefore increase the patronage.

Actually, not everyone must venture into business, not everyone will become sellers, others will have to buy. The reason why everyone must not venture into business is because not everyone can run a business very well, and running a business needs certain skills and strategy, as well as consistency also and for sure not everyone can do that.
As for your friend that is moving from one business to another without being successful, one of the things he lacks is consistency. As a business owner, you need consistency and patience to run a business and when it comes to a new business, it doesn’t just start yielding much profit overnight, business needs time and patience. If you cannot be patient, it will be hard to grow your business, that’s why it is important to have knowledge of any business you want to venture into before starting because it prepares you ahead.

Honestly business is not for everyone ,so the answer is No everyone must not venture into business,I even know of someone they have open different business but yet she hasn't succeeded in any of it ,but there are some who are doing well in business no matter how small they start .

Some persons are better off employees,working in an organization, earn salary but can't do well if they are been established, so I believe business is not actually for everyone .

Some people, like the one you are talking about, think or believe that running a business is all about having the necessary resources to get it started, and once that is done, the business will take off in no time, but they are wrong, totally wrong, because if it was that easy to run a business successfully, then every started business would have been successful, but that's not the case, so many people and their businesses fail in this world, and why is that so? Let me tell you the reason.

It is extremely important for a person to understand that a business that they are going to start is what they are actually good at. I mean, if you are just starting, you have never had any previous businesses have no experience at all, but there is one thing that you know very well, then your business should be about that thing. On top of that, you should do your research and homework before you start, like what location would be good, how you are going to target your customers, what you are going to offer them that will make them keep coming back, etc.

Human are naturally business driven. But not everyone will be directly engaged in a business but there's usually indirect doing of business like investing in Bitcoin. Something you will freely do for another, others are getting paid to do the same thing.. I didn't misinterpret your question at all. So look around you and you will see business that somehow are not labeled business.
Misconception of business and uncultured drive to do business due to insatiable needs makes many people to think of doing business, but some businesses didn't last and won't last for one year even.

That' person you who is moving from one business to another needs to do detailed analysis of everything about what they are doing starting from themselves. Some do business because others are doing it and it's fetching money, that's doing business out of feeling without reasoning and other baseless reasons why some go into business only to be moving from one business to another almost all the time.

It is not everyone that business will favor, and there are different reasons why some people face challenges in business but lack the understanding of how to solve these problems. If anyone must go into business, it is better to know and understand the business that you are about to enter. If you know that the knowledge you already have is not enough to go into business, then don’t force yourself to start a business because business is risky, and what you don’t know about a business can be a reason why you may lose.

I would say it is not every business that everyone can run; it is better for people to know the business in which they will be able to succeed if they start.
