For me its more practical to build your own business and make lots of money that to be an employee. Business- Unlimited Profit Make your Fortune Job- Wages Make living Do you agree or not?

I'd rather go with a business. I've been wanting to do that online but now I haven't had much of a chance to really do something positive with it because I have courses to take and get closer to a degree. A job could help finance my business and possibly have the best of both worlds. If it comes to a point where I can make more with my business and I can easily do that, I will go to that. To answer the question, I'll go with a business.

Thanks. What I'm thinking as well is using what I'm learning to help my own business. Right now, I'm going for computer programming and have been learning multiple languages to develop simple applications. Towards the end, I'll be learning about putting together a complex software application.

Computer programming i think is one of the difficult to do. Just like what i heard on my sister who is computer science graduate when you're working as a programmer it seems that you know a lot. My knowledge is only the basic. I only take-up two computer subject. So limited information would be enough. If that is your passion so do it. Make money in doing it.

So right now you already managing your business and i think it works better. If you can manage to do those things at the same time so go ahead. Just do what you want. You will never know unless you try. My degree is all about business so im into it. Even in my past i also do business.

Each one have thier benefits and disadvantages... Own Business - option for unlimitted earnings but also the option that there is not enough work and then you are not ensured of a direct amount of earnings.... Have a Job - Not the option for unlimitted earnings but you are ensured a minimum salary every month. Given you have a permanent job ofcause... So the optimal would be to combine the two above until your business is so profitable that you are 100% sure you can quit your job.

Yes, Having your own business while not stable better not to quit on your job. You must be careful on your decision and wise. If your salary is not just enough that is the time that you will try having an extra income or business. But All of this must put in action. Work hard and must have good attitude and time management.

hi,it depends on your capacity and ability and of course of your finances.if you have long experience and have money for the business you shuoldgo on because if you become successful you will have lots of money and can have a better future in your business but i suggest you start with just being an employee related to the business you want to open in that way you will have alot of ecperience nad ideas of the business you life to build or ut up in the future.
3 Nov 10
Good idea, Just like other successful businessman at first they only made small amount of money and just a small business but after that when they master their field they shift to bigger one or expanding. Business is like trial and error. But you must know what you are doing. Hard work!

I totally agree with you daiweian. I strongly feel that we need a curriculum exclusively for business opted aspiring students. A viable business plan with strong commitment and dedication will take you to new heights. That is what i believe in.

I'm a Marketing graduate and in that course we are studying what we gonna do in putting our own business. They teach us on how to set a price, different types of buyer, the routine of being a business owner and so on. In Harvard they already offering Multi-level Marketing course for those people want to have their own company

I agree with you.I would rather build my own business than to be employed.Making my own business involved a capital but i don't have enough money right now.I have to save a lot so that i could have enough money to invest.At present i am employed. I have to work hard first so that in the future i could build my own dream business.

You can do business right a way if you want. Money is not a reason to extent your desire. you can do many ways just to do business. Right now im also doing my business for ten months and im loving it. Im just at home and still earning the way i want it. Try to visit my website: www.perfectdiet.multiply.com Im doing my business in 73 countries.

To own my own business. I agree with your, but i have to make sure the business would really be a hit and will last long so i can achieve unlimited profit.

In my case the products are on demand. People now a days are getting bigger unlike before. We all love to eat outside so after many months we gain a lot. So all i have to do is help the people to bring back their weight and health. Visit my website: www.perfectdiet.multiply.com If your going to build any business it must be on demand. And you have lots of customers who need your product at all times.

Having own business is anytime much better than going inn for a job. However, business has its own ups and downs , an needs a person with a risk taking attitude, but , only calculated risk . Job on the other hand is more secure and assures you with regular and steady income on monthly basis. The end choice depends on what a individual is looking for .

In my case i want to look good always so i choose the business which i earn more money and make me younger and healthy. I dont want to work as full time employee. So i chose this business which i also enjoy traveling and vacations. Assurace of having monthly income is based on what i've done. So far its really great!

i prefer being an owner. i dont plan to be an employee for a long time. i agree to you.
28 Oct 10
Yeah, You cannot achieve the success and self fulfillment if your just an employee. Enjoy your life. Make more money than being an employee. In my case im just following the foot steps of my sponsor. Duplicating what she does.

Owning a business is ideal for anyone not caring to be an employee and be independent. However one must be prepared for all the losses that come with it and know when to give up and or try harder.

Being an employee just like a robot. Daily activities are just the same. You have to be there all the time. Doing your best to earn limited income. I agree that if you are going to deal putting your own business you have to be prepared on pros and cons that must happen.

People have different choices depending on what they really want in life. For me i want to manage my own business. Both of this has positive and negative, advantage and disadvantage, good or bad but most of the people want to be just an employee. People are so afraid to have their own business. Chinese and millionaires think differently. Of course the company must have good products, management and good attitude all the time.

business is good but i am not sure if i am a good one. but i am not an employee either. instead i work as a freelance writer and designer. so i can pretty much have my own time in working and in taking care of my daughter and hubby. the earn is not much but is better than when i was an employee. i had been doing this for 8 years now and no regrets. :-D i love what i am doing !

Yes, I agree! Your decision is not just for yourself but for everyone. Imagine if your earning a lot but you have no time for your family. I heard that money is not enough to be happy and you never get back the time that passed. Enjoy each and every day with your family. Enough money is enough if you just want it to be.

Right now, I've been a freelancer for about 4 years. I had several jobs before that and I never liked any of them. One had flexible hours, but all had lousy bosses and low pay. So, I think that freelancing/own business is better.
28 Oct 10
Great decision. For now im just doing my Herbalife business for 10 months i think. This is what i want in life. Be my own boss, have my own time, flexible income, and less stress. I choose this because all i have to do is to be beautiful all the time, it makes me healthy, im earn more and so on. Just like my sister who work as an employee and now resigned to her job and releasing all the stress that she got.

Yes, I agree. But it is much harder to make it as a business owner I think, so not everyone can do it.
28 Oct 10
If you think its hard so its really hard. But if you think you can, you can make it. As long as you love what you are doing go ahead. In my case i chose to be independent. I have my own money and lots of time.

It's good to build your own business but did you answer that question to yourself.Is it possible to gain money from that the others already gain.I speak about th? rivalry.Did you ask yourself how to earn some extra money as the people who have business orientated to the same as your.Many times i see how the people doing equal activity in business are growing different.I mean for one part of them there are a lot of work and for second part not.You may be have some strategy to attract the people and convicted them to choose you.That's the main thing in busuness otherway everybody can make business without of much efforts.Actually i'm agreed with you in your poin of view.

I think it is much better if you build your own business. It is much better because you can manage your time very well and you dont have a boss to follow. You can expand your own business unlike being an employee that just sit there in your cubicle..haha LOL
26 Oct 10
Yes you have a point. No more pressure from the boss. You have flexible income and hours to work. The best is the incredible income that you might have than being an employee. But you have to mange your time as well. You can do what you want. And no more stress.
