We won’t be bind to a place where we have to do slavery all our lives. A few years of experience in work and then Goodbye to slavery and Hello to working our ass off to build our own dreams. We will fail, but we won’t give up.
A job is a lust. Business is a lifetime of commitment.
Jobs are temporary. One simply cannot be dependent upon ‘Job’ all his life. No matter what you do for a company, your boss would not give a shit about you when it’ll come upon his profit-loss. In today’s world, it is exceedingly important to take a risk & leap to self-employment after a certain period of time.
Money is important. You cannot admit someone you love to the hospital in an emergency, by showing your so-called over-time working certificate.
Having a job implies that someone employs us. This means that if we choose to work, we must report to a boss. Whether or not your boss makes a lot of money, you will earn a fixed wage. However, conducting business entails being the proprietor of your enterprise.
- You get hired. You get started.
- You have a boss. You have freedom.
- You execute. You ideate.
- You are overworked. You choose to overwork.
- You get paid. You win clients.
- You fear layoffs. You fear bankruptcy.
- You strive for titles. You print your label.
- You take leaves. You roll up your sleeves.
- You hate Mondays. You love your business open.
- You give your child a degree. You give your child a business.
- You congratulate your child on getting hired. You mentor your child to grow what you started.
That is a ‘happy ending’ for both scenarios.

Business is obviously better than a job but you should pursue job for at least for 2–3 years to get global exposure, gain people skills, see how big business operates, build your network//connections and the most important thing build enough bank balance for you to survive when you are busy building a startup/business.
So this is the route you might think of opting —Take a well-paying job, build you bank balance, Build great connections/network, build experience, If you are shy and introvert then make sure you learn people skills while working, If you already have a business idea then talk to your friends, build an MVP, bring on a co-founder, test your MVP in the market and if the results are good then —
Take the leap!
And that’s how all the other big founders have done
