Choosing between owning a business and being employed
Written on Friday, 9 of April, 2010 at 9:34 pm
When asked what they prefer, having a business or being employed, most people answer “having a business of course” especially “owning a company”. As this may probably be your choice too, we all know that this is not an easy goal to achieve. This is why some just search the net for New York jobs to get the best positions to apply for.
So what does it take to start a good business? Is it the money? An MBA perhaps? Take for instance the story of how Paypal started. Max Levchin, the mind behind Paypal started out small by creating encryption tools for Palm Pilot. He did not have enough money, but somehow, his determination to succeed made him find an investor that helped him expand his company that now became the most trusted portal in internet money transactions. Basically, successful businesses start out small, but with the biggest efforts involved. You do not need the money, you just need a very good idea and a will to succeed. Everything follows after.
Personally, I love being employed. However, I want to work someday just for pleasure. This is why my goal is to have my own company, while still working for another one. This way I get to enjoy the job I do at the same time become financially secured in the future.
