foolish deluded mindset of ignorant people who want to claim independent at any cost... even if it makes them look STOOPID!

the important question here are:
- is your life better now because you work for yourself?
- are you saying that earning 10% of what you were normally earning is an achievement?

people.... there is no shame in having a boss, especially if it makes you earn a good living for you and your family. only quit such job if you have a better/safe/valid opportunitythat wont make you lose your (and your family's) way of life. quitting your 82M job to go be independent and making 8M is not only absurd, it is an insult to your family.

i guess....TO EACH THEIR OWN MISERY!

The guy who makes 82m from his JOB will do far better than you making 8m in business.

Some entrepreneurs dey mumu sha. So you think the guy in a job will be there stagnant?

- He would grow more in professional experience to make him more valuable in the market
- He would be meeting higher people of importance at that salary level thus expanding his network

Someone who makes 82m a year can even rely on the annul interest yield for his yearly expense, if fixed in a safe debt instrument, while the capital remains untouched. (10% of 82m is 8.2m)

Either self employment or as employee, the goal is to make money and with 82m you have a bigger leverage to do that earlier.

GTFOH!!!

There is no body that does not work somebody... Even the president of different countries are working for the citizen.. you can not make money without working for people. The Owner of bread bakery is a worker for the people eating the bread...

Myopic mindset. Freedom can never be overemphasized period.

when they tell you to read ur books,,,na so so FelaDurotoye and the likes u go dey read when they talk about working for urself and working for someone, no be 20k$ and 200k$ salary dem dey talk...The real problem here is that you do not know that someone earning 200k$ have a potential to buy off that company u r building

tunapawizzy:

He is telling you the truth...do you think someone that earns 200k will not invest his money...do you think the banks will not kneel at his door n tell him to take loans, which he can use to make more money

People have different paths they find most suitable for their type of person.

Some would prefer figuring things out on their own, they're ready to give their all and make expensive sacrifice than been led by other people, while others would prefer being led than figuring things out, and all these exist in history.

Elon Musk, Bill Gates etc are prominent examples of self taught whose success see the light, there are others who will never make it to that level while there be those who will get there but will take longer time.

While as we know it, there would definitely be people who whose personality style is growing within a structured system, being given roles and tasks, seek validation of others (Superiors and Bosses) before they develop the confidence to take the world.

Know your type of person, have conviction of who you are and stick to it.

Preferring the big salary working for another man is exhibition of poor vision. What happens when they suddenly sack you?!

BLoomfrancs:

You are contradicting yourself.

The thing the speaker is trying to point out here is that he'd rather earn 8mil as a boss than work for someone without the idea of quitting.

If you have the plans of quitting in the future from a job where you earn 82million then you are very smart. But working for that paycheck without the plan of being your boss one day is unwise. That I think is what the person is trying to say.

Or, are you going to buy off someone company while you are still an employee to another company?

Chatflick:

Seems you've not heard of the foreign exchange market. Lol. Ignorance is bad.

Nosayer:


Your assertions are correct but you must also understand that the mindet of an inventor is far different from that of an ordinary business owner. Inventors are naturally restless people who usually lose out at the beginning of their exploits but learn through bitter lessons how to be a good business person and an inventor at the same time.

If you're not an inventor, it'd be difficult to think like one.

Figuring things out by oneself is the same personality shared by "Inventor, investor and probably a business man".

It all entails conviction of your person and the boldness to forge ahead. Unending intentional learning, mistakes and re-allignment.

tunapawizzy:


well the speaker didnt state all that. Meanwhile those earnings are so far apart that even if he stated that, u wouldnt blame anyone for choosing safety. He probably needs to put things in context...what kind of business is the 8m generated from, what country are you operating the business from. And yes people buy into other companies where theres no conflict of interest with the organization they work for.....

Chatflick:

So does that give him freedom? You guys talk about this as if freedom is nothing. If you prefer being a slave there is nothing wrong about it. Self employed people enjoy what salary earners can't enjoy and that's freedom. I was talking to my childhood friend yesterday and the she came back from work in the bank by 8 pm complaining that's she's so tired and funny enough what she does for them is what I do for myself at home. Same thing we do but she doesn't have freedom while I do. Freedom can never be overemphasized.

BLoomfrancs:



I understand you but I will advice anyone to go with the 8million option. See, my brother used to work for a firm in Abj where he earns below 150k but he quit some years back and went into cryptocurrency investment. Now, he is a multi millionaire. Bro, you see freedom is something no one shd joke with. As an employee, you will never know what you can achieve if you have freedom.

tunapawizzy:


THis your generalization ehn. So much talk about freedom...By freedom i want to assume you mean no pressure of waking up early, rushing to work and having to choose when u close.......You think someone that will grow his business from 20kUSD to overtake someone earning 200kUSD, will have the kind of work ethics where theres this kind of freedom.... A Business owner that will grow business by that magnitude will put in a lot of work and sacrifice....ENtrepreneurship is not soft work sir, it is continuous tough work, entrepreneurs are constantly working.

You are actually the ignorant one. Foreign exchange is a service rendered to someone whether online from your bedroom or anywhere. Once you depend on another person to buy before you make money, you are working for somebody.
