my guy, build ur business

if business fails, wouldn't it be difficult getting a decent job, especially when you can't present your business journey on your CV?

Someone once said "people are willing to mind other people's businesses for a lifetime while failing to mind their's for just 5years ".

Now what are advantages of you focusing on a business that is yours :

1. You will be your own boss working on your own terms
and doing what you love.

2. You financial freedom is yours to decide: how much
earn will be determined by you and not be someone
else.

3. You will have more time for your family and the things
you enjoy doing.

Peace

Are you saying being an employee has no long term advantage?

What courses would you consider vital for entrepreneural success, and how does one overcome the fear of failure?

thesicilian:
Some are born to be employees, some are more of the business type. It is not an insult, the truth is that not everyone has what it takes to be businessmen, no matter how hard they try they will always fail when they go on their own, but usually excel as employees with very lucrative jobs. Life's like that. Don't let motivational speaker deceive you, you have to know which group you belong to.

Thanks for your contribution

Is there any disadvantage in the long run if one pursues a lucrative business at the expense of building a career as an employee?

Are there any benefits to being an employee over starting ones business?
