Let us be blunt here. A job is a job. It requires you to be physically working. It might pay you handsomely or it might not but you need to be tied to that chair for a particular period. Typical problem with the job is – when you stop working your income stops. Moreover your job eats your time. How many times you wanted a leave but instead were rushing to your office. In your job you are working for somebody. All your labour is utilized to produce gains for the company you work. What do you get out of it? Just a monthly wage. Why do this when you can build a fortune with same amount of work or less.
Business is the gateway to freedom. Be it financial freedom or freedom of time. You might be working 9 to 5 everyday and managing your family well (I hope so) but what about future. Therefore if you want freedom and security you must start a business and make it successful. If you want to stop worrying about payments and pay raises, business is the answer.
Starting your own business is a wise decision. Invest time and money (mostly time) to build up your home business until it is profitable enough for you to become a full-time, self-employed person. Please do not get me wrong. Quite a number of people are happy with their jobs as long as they can keep one. They have a routine they like. They get up and leave for job, happily exhaust their brain and energies for achieving the goals of company, return to home tired. Then they race against time to manage unmanageable household chores because job has left no time for that. They sacrifice their likings to manage the house and the kids and try squeezing time from here and there. They do get frustrated but they continue because they have been brought up with the idea of this kind of lifestyle.Their job is a continuous fuel that runs their machinery. It is never enough but they learn to manage. To trap them further there are pay raises, promotions and bonuses. They slog through whole week but can hardly wait for a weekend.They are not content but they learn to live with this discontentment. They are actually happy because they are oblivious to the fact that there are more ways to financial independence than the one they follow.Then there are other kinds who are not blinded by the job glare. These are the people who keep looking beyond their present shackles. They hate it when somebody orders them. They hate to get up at the dictated time and rush to the office. They can see their labour rewarding somebody else.These are the people who keep thinking about the financial independence and look for opportunity to get it.
But hold on.
