What do you prefer, build your own business or stay being employed?

Hi ! I prefer to have a business than having that blue collar job . When you have your own business you control your time , you pull out all the resources with in you . You can implement things you wanted to without consulting anyone . You can set your goal as far and as broad as you wanted it to be , no one can stop you. Unlike when you are employed that the company controls your time ,your function is very limited and you have to follow what your manager been telling you whether you like it or not. You income when you're employed is fix no matter how hard you work or how outstanding you are in doesn't matter , comparing when you're in your own that you have an income as high as you wanted , it depends on how you work for it!

Employment is a guaranteed poverty for income is fixed and expenses is flexible but you can raise a capital in employment if you know how to save and you can do both employment and at the same time do business of your own as part time job. If you can raise enough capital then you can have your full time business and resign as an employee.

I prefer to be an employee first, but if I got enough savings, I also want to start my own. Just like the hearsay, we can never be an employee forever. After graduation in college, all I want is to have a consistent income and stable finances. But as years and years passed by as an employer, now I am thinking what business I would build on my own. A matter of curiosity of how it feels to be a big boss. :-) But thanks to the company, they never stop the blessing of having annual salary increase enough to support my family needs.

i prefer to know what can possibly maximize my skills and talents. i know that business is tough and demanding. probably, what i can do is to build my capital and enhance my skills and understanding of business transactions so that when i decide to put up my own business, then i'll be ready. for now, i am Ok to simply build my capital with a boss who cares for my career and a job which pays well and enables me to develop more skills.

I think I go with to be an employee first. We need to have experience before going into a battlefield with full of people to compete for.

Actually I prefer build my own business rather than being employed, I can have many employers and there is nobody scolded me anymore. But when the job (being employed) is very prestigious, it means that the job having good salaries, I think it's okay to be the best choice.

I like the idea of building my own business a lot better than working for others. Working hard to start-up and profit from your very own business is a lot more rewarding than working hard just hoping for some praise from your boss. Jobs in my area are not so good, they have all completely forgotten about giving raises and just pay minimum wages. Appreciating their employees is not even something most employers think about anymore.

At the moment I am an employee, but I would like to start my own business, that is one of my dreams. I have thought about different options for instance a shop where I sell art and crafts, because I paint, draw, make my own cards and many other things. I think that it would be great to have my own shop where I could sell my things, but I don't have the money to start my own business at least not at the moment. I would like to like to have the freedom to plan my own time and make my own decisions. On the other hand there are also advantages about being an employee. When I am an employee I know how much I earn per month and my earnings don't depend on the things that I am able to sell.

Having had the opportunity to work for several different people during the course of my life, I now know that when the time comes that I need to work all the time I'm going to have to start a business of my own. The reason that this is the option that is the most fitting for me is because of the fact that I don't respond well to authority. If I am the boss then there wouldn't be anyone above me that was constantly telling me what I needed to do. I'm a bossy person as opposed to being a person that is bossed.

I prefer to start my own business, both my mom and dad are entrepreneurs and even my younger sibling is in the business industry too. I'm currently working freelance, previously employed but I'm not cut out to be an employee since I tend to abuse myself too much and attach myself to my work so.. If I'm going to dedicate so much time might as well to it to my actual business or family business

For me, building your own business is one of the best and hardest part, the hardest part is, to maintain it, cos in business, sometimes there's big problem that might turn your business closure, But if you don't have enough money yet, I prefer to be employee first,

Athough I am a employee,doing a lot work for my boss mow.but i hope to have my own business,i am gathering experience and knowledge for my goal.

Well,i am thinking of having both.It might sound ridiculous but then i can elaborate my point.I do not think i have enough capital to start business on my own.Plus what ever i am doing is just growing up in time.Its long time to see the day i would have enough money from my business or online ventures to meet my expenses and save for the rainy day.On the other hand,for meeting my expenses and for growing my business i need to stay employed.This will also help in getting things i need and also help to get things moving in my life.Plus it also comes with other benefits like medical reimbursement and medical insurance which i would not be able to take up with my business life,at least at this point of time.I agree you need to listen to your boss in employment but then there are risks in personal business as well.There are pros and cons for everything.But having some money through personal business does bring in extra satisfaction and helps us much with things.But then everyone has different strategies and ideas.I am not interested in quitting my employment at this point fo time as its my main bread and butter and need to get things through online business as well.Thanks!

How I wish to build my own business one day,however,I'm still an employee with a low salary now,I don't want to work for others forever,if I have enough money and experience and have a good entrepreneurial opportunity,I prefer to build my own business.I hope my wish will come true soon.

Hello markIT this is checkmail and at least me would definitely prefer business, even in partnership, as jobs this days are not reliable even didn't got paid for previous two jobs properly.We have short coming in jobs like outsourced, low salary, cheap working conditions, overload, its better to be dependent on our self than on someone or organization.Support u with self dependence in business....

I would love to have my own business, but I wouldn't know what to start with. I know it would have to be something that I'm extremely interested in, but I don't know that I would be able to make a success of even something I really enjoy. Then there's the planning, the money, stock if you need it, and many other variables that would come in to play. I know that people start their own businesses all the time, and make them a success as well, but....

I am pretty sure that almost everyone here would like to have their own business than be employer to some company. I am working in one company at the moment, the money what I get is nice, but the rules are very strict which sometimes give me big headache. Yes we need money to start own businesses, but I know that in my country there are banks and projects which support new project ideas if they are nice and can earn a lot of money for you. Otherwise they will not help you. Do you have this opportunity in your place too? P.S. My economic teacher always have said "I hope you all will have your own businesses and you will pay your employers not vice versa.

Work on both, one which is to work for others and use some spare time to build your own business. Make sure there is no conflict of interest, otherwise you are going to have a hard time later on. Some people may be happy having both "jobs", so they can augment their income. Whether you choose to solely focus on your own business eventually is a decision that will require some analysis on your own. The only advise I would give to you is "Don't rush".

I know that I would never be good at running my own business. I will just work for someone else.

I mam currently employed for almost four years now and I was already exhausted with everyday office works. I want something new. Though, I had learned a lot in my work still it is enough for me. I want to build my business on my own. I want to explore and test myself if I have that capability to build my own business and produce a promising profit and to be successful. I think it is a very tough decision for me and a very challenging one.
