Almost nine years i worked in a company with the goal of career and have alot of money.But that does not fit the purpose of the fact. I want to try other ways to better career and more money for the improvement of living. Is it entrepreneur can realize my goals? I don't have any clue yet...But nothing to lose to try is'nt it?

Hi shimanaja, There is a pro and con for this. I compare it like this:- 1. Decision making. Employee - no. You do as what you told to do. Just follow the instruction. Entrepreneur - yes. I can do what ever you want. This is sometime being the hardest thing to do. It can be your make it or break it decision. 2. Working hours Employee - fix. You work on fix hour usually 9-5 (except for a certain job). Entrepreneur - flexible. You may got to your office at afternoon or evening. But, usually your working hour start once you wake up in the morning (or maybe in the middle of the night) until you to your bed again (usually 2-3 hours before you wake-up again). 3. Capital Employee - you just need your body where it should be. Just present to your office :). Entrepreneur - you need your body, soul and money. To be success, you need all this to be in one place. 4. Reward. Employee - a penny :). Just as usual every month your receive. Entrepreneur - a million and beyond. (If you success). / or bankrupt/penniless (if you don't). So, make your choice (1 part of entrepreneur), and do your work. Good luck to your business and have a nice day.

Then, what are you waiting for? Take your sword and slice the pies. Don't forget to leave a small portion to the rest of the world :). Good luck.

Dont choose to be an employee fo the rest of your life. Have a business and be an entrepreneur. As we all know that businessman is more richer than the employee. So why not to choose to be like them. Be your own boss and work on your own time. Have a financial freedom and at the same time you will be having a family time. Goodluck

For me being entrepreneur is the best rather than being an employee. For me you cant be success if your just an employee maybe there are people who succeed but not all. But if you are an entrepreneur theres a chance that you can be succeed plus the fact that you dont have employer. Thats the best being entrepreneur anyway, its up to you maybe how you can manage life you can get success whether an entrepreneur or employee.

Enterpreneur. You must own your self. Must explores, develop.. small change to do that by being limitated by rules and rooms.

Hello. for me, of course you'll start as an employee,unless your family had a business that you can manage after you graduated. work and strive hard to earn money and at the same time,save it. And if you think that your saved money is now enough to start a business,then do so. I think it's better to have your own business. Because we shouldn't let ourselves work for money but let the money work for us (i've learned this from the book entitled 'rich dad,poor dad'). But of course, even if the money is enough, you must think carefully and many times about the business that you're about to start, the advantage and disadvantage, the possibilities of something might happen, the consequences and so forth. happy mylotting
