Iâve owned several businesses in my life. As a former Founder, CEO & President of my own corporation that I built from nothing, and ran for 8 years, I have great perspective on this rhetoric.
Iâve also had a successful 20yr sales career, and currently earn 6 figures+ in sales.

When running a business, you work 90-100 hour weeks, starting out with a zero salary or profit.
Youâre spending money to work. 365 days a year with no holiday, paycheck, benefits, 401K, no time off, responsible for EVERYTHING.
Your business owns you.

Your business owns you.
Add to that, that the vast majority of businesses fail within the first 2 years, and most never become profitable or make back the investment.

Compare the above to a 9-5.
You get paid from day one, most have benefits, time off (paid or not), weekends and holidays off, usually around 40 hours per week, covered by many insurances, zero responsibilities other than your specified work.
You go home and forget about it.

Iâve had success in business, and my sales career.
I can tell you business was always more fun, even in hardest times.
BUT, a business owner is more enslaved than ANY 9-5 worker.
AND, making money in business is a LOT HARDER than working a job.

If youâre just starting out, youâre young, and you think that a business is liberating, and freedom in comparison to a job, you ARE mistaken.
You probably wonât make more money, either.
Itâs a lifestyle choice, but a much harder one.

Statistically, more millionaires are made by employees, than employers.
Both have their places, both have their benefits. Working both can have MASSIVE BENEFITS.
Beware of romanticizing business, and donât believe the bullshit youâre being sold.
Youâre just drinking kool-aid.

This thread is my hope of offering perspective, welcoming you to the business world.
Donât disrespect jobs, if your business ever fails, youâre ever out of money, and in debt, youâll need one. They are opportunities, too.
