Debate : Would you choose to have a stable job or start your own business?

[Bd officer]

Let's have a debate here. Choose one of the two options and explain why you chose it. This topic is very important, and I'm pretty sure many people will learn from this since it's based on real-life situations and the choices we make. Most of us have jobs, and a few of us have businesses, but pick your answer based on your current situation and your future goals.

Starting a good business will require a lot of money. Now I don't have enough money to do business, so I chose the job according to the current situation. If I had enough money to do business, I would definitely start a business. Business can be managed according to one's will. But if you do any job you have to work under other people.

That’s the wrong mindset. It’s often the reason why, even if someone is eager to start a business, they hold back because they think it needs a lot of money. But actually, you can start small and still aim to earn more.. nothing wrong with that. Just change your approach-  go slow but consistent. That way, you’ll gain experience as a business owner, and over time, your consistency will help your business grow.

Some people are excited to start but never actually take the first step, and that’s where they go wrong.

Get a real and stable job first so you can finance your business and future goals. That’s the mindset for a poor individual like me, who needs to establish my finances first so I can sustain whatever business I have in mind. But if you are born from a golden spoon, no need to work in order to save, people like this have spread out their businesses already. Have your own business instead that will reflect your personality and skills in life.

Having a stable and growing business is my goal, and it requires capital, so before I can make it happen, I have to keep investing from my current job to have enough capital to make my target come true, so it's a long and difficult journey because I don't come from a rich family which will make it easy to get capital.

Of course trying is a difficult thing to do, especially trying to have initial capital to open a business, by struggling to work but that is what you have to go through which is not as lucky as other people, to have your own stable business in the future, but whatever the job is, you must be proud because it is the result of your own sweat and that is an achievement that of course other people are not able to do like you.

As someone who had a few businesses before, I can tell you that even if you have a capital, you may still end up with bunch of trouble along the way. Basically, having a business is just a string of problem solving and that is why it is such a big task.

Most of the time if you own a business, everyday you face an obstacle, some issues, and you tackle them and hope to fix them. That part is the hardest part, and if you do lack the funds and barely surviving then it is even harder because you need a constant amount of sales going on to make sure that you can make money to survive, which is a constant problem. Capital does solve this one, but it doesn't solve everything else, you can be Elon Musk, and you will still have to tackle issues everyday, with or without money.

Well, I like my stable job, but I would like to start a small business... in some way, there was always some work on the side, sometimes I did it alone and sometimes with others.

I don't mind working for others... you see, business owners can be pretty busy and their responsibility is greater. I like to take it easy and slow, I wouldn't like to have worries that my boss has, for example. Yes, he makes more money, but he needs to think a lot more than I do.

When the issue of self-employment is discussed, there is a need to know that some people don't have the skills or character of an entrepreneur. Starting and running a business can be very stressful and complicated.

If someone has a stable and high-paying job, there might be no need to start a business. If you enjoy what you do and it is enough for you to invest with part of your earnings, that's okay too. You can decide to invest in other assets instead of running a business.

And thats the reality on which this is something that needs to be realized for those people who do say that building up a business is just a simple thing on which this is totally opposite. We do know that on the moment that you have decided to run a business on which of course there will be tons of factors that you do need up to consider on which just like on what you have said that on the moment that you do ran your own business then there would be that everyday obstacles that you do need up to tackle on which we know that business do runs when you do have sales and that sales should be able to sustain up your business in the long run or simply being having that positive revenue. This is where you do need to maintain those profits or in the positive side because at the time or moment that you do become that negative then this is where problems do starts to kick in and on which if you cant be able to resolved out immediately then it could be resulting into that bankruptcy or closure of your business. We do know that business could give out that opportunity on becoming wealthy but come to think that there's still risks on which you do need up to handle or face it out.

This is a better approach. While people are rushing for their dream jobs and businesses, why not just go at a slow pace without comprimising your work-life balance and what you're pursuing with your life currently. As long as you're able to provide, can buy stuff that you want and you're able to pay the bills. That's already a good situation that many want to get in and if can do some sidelines and make money from those, another source that soon who knows if you'll be able to turn it into a full time as well since many stories were aligned like that.

If someone doesn't have the capital to start with, it's better if they have stable job first, building business is tough, if you see people become successful, it's mostly survivorship bias.

I'd try to get myself better ground as possible to prevent myself from being homeless when the business fails.

There's also nothing wrong with climbing the career ladder, it can make you rich as well if you're doing it properly.

Starting or business must truly come from passion and long-term desire, not just temporary excitement. If you still feel that this is not the right time to start a business, there is nothing wrong with continuing to delay by continuously accumulating capital, experience...and creating a more perfect plan. Because to be successful in business requires ensuring elements of vision and strategy, knowledge and skills, especially finance. The stronger your finances are, the more time your business has to survive and adapt to the market before thinking about growing.

Only start a business when you have secured the necessary elements, don't do business just because of temporary interest without a specific strategy.

Well I would rather just have a stable job so I know I will always have fiat. I need it to live and just to survive with things I need like food and shelter.
When we start our own business their is a big risk we must take. If we are not good at our business then we can lose all the money.

Situational, maybe that's the word I can say about this. If we think about having our own business, then before that we have to make sure we have a place to live that is our own, so we can focus more on what is being built.

The availability of capital is certainly the main thing, because I see some people who try and they fail they can no longer build because they run out of capital because the capital is just enough at the beginning. That is actually one of the obstacles. Because there is no guarantee that we will succeed in the first try, and maybe we have to feel 2 or 3 failures.

exactly right, like capital of course that is an obstacle when we are going to start a business ourselves, even though we have capital of course we have to have twice as much when starting our own business, that is true what you said because it is possible to fail when starting the first business, and that is a challenge that must be thought about when establishing your own business and there are many more things that must be prepared in order to mature when running it.

[DaNNy001]

Having a stable job isn't really a bad choice but for me I would go with starting up my own business.. working for people keeps you limited and there are certain amounts of money you'd never make if you continue to work for people..The easiest way to become financially is by having your own business, although this can take some time to start but you can always start from somewhere..The world richest men in the world are business tycoons.

And even sometimes when our business is running, it doesn't mean that we won't experience obstacles in the future. For example, when there was a situation like some time ago where a pandemic occurred which caused many businesses to go bankrupt because they didn't have the capital to help when there was a loss or sales decreased drastically.

We must understand things like this before actually running a business. Reckless, yes, that's not wrong, but we also have to know what the risks are, especially if we dare to build a business with borrowed money, for example.

Overtime I've always dreamt of having my own business and be free from working for someone and I think that should be anyone major priority or goal while trying to achieve something in life, cause for me I don't really want to stick to a particular job when i can start up my own business and make my money at the comfort of my home. So if I'll get to choose between the both I'll definitely keep going for owning my business cause it'll save me a lot of money than over working myself for peanuts.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." I'm sure everyone knows that and is aware that working for someone else won't make them rich. But is business as simple and easy as we say? This is not easy and not for everyone, which is why you can see many people admitting to the business potential. But in the end, most of them choose to work for a company instead of starting their own business and becoming their own boss.

To own a business and be able to develop and make profits, what we need to sacrifice is not only time but also health, youth, even blood...how many people are brave enough? Easier said than done.

Only the first hand supplier won't broke because they have the biggest business and cheapest product, also the important thing, the product must be daily needs. Big business who create product about foods and drinks won't bankrupt, people will always need to eat and drink despite how bad the situation is.

Unfortunately, second hand supplier or lower must able to make adaption, otherwise they might going to bankrupt.

There's no one that becoming rich when you are working for someone or simply being an employee on which in overall you do make your boss that more richer as years or time passes by. This is where there are those individuals who do wanted up to make out some adjustment because they do want to have some changes into their lives on which trying out to take up some different course on which taking up that trying to have some business or investment and wanted to be their own boss but as we do all know that this isnt type of career that you would be that easily be able to consider yourself to become that sure successful. We do know that on the moment that you do touch up this venture and for you to be able to achieve up such success but realistically it wont be that so simple on which handling out business or investment is far more challenging and that not wont be easy and thats why you should be careful on what you do choose for but of course you wont be able to know no unless you do able to try it out.

Making up dealing up with business or investment will be that needing up that proper planning and other factors on which it causes up for you to have at least that good chance of success but just like on what said above that it wont be that an easy path to take but once you do able to succeed out then it will be guarantee that good financial situation or condition. We do know that this is the only way that you can achieve out such state because if we do speak about having a day job and trying out to become rich then even if you do work for the rest of your life, you wont be able to reach out such condition or situation because you will be able to shackled out yourself with that cycle on being that a slave with that 9-5 job.

You can start small, but that doesn't mean it's always possible. It depends on the business and competition. If you don't have enough funding, someone with existing infra can just can just take your idea and build it in a month, with decent marketing and scaling it x 100 and making it cheaper. Meanwhile you struggle to have money for advertising and decent accountant.

In some cases those sartups work, and some times they get bought by bigger companies, if they lack skills to compete on their own.

Also you need some savings for start at least, when your business isn't profitable yet.
