Moving to another profession as an employee to an entrepreneur can be both exciting and terrifying. In every choice, either being an employee or entrepreneur has its own advantages and disadvantages. The stereotype of entrepreneurs are flexible, free to control their time, and income. Those who can get up in the morning, they can start their working earlier than others for something they love. Apart from that, the night people can spend their evenings coming up with the new business ideas. They can spend their free time on anytime they want - strolling around the city or just chill at home. They also can jump from one industry to other industries and develop the business skills to boost their success and experience.
But in the real-life, starting your own business is giving up a regular salary, insurance benefits, and paid vacations. Even though we have known that entrepreneurship has a high risk, but also can get higher potential. But it’s also stressful when you consider that you’re making all the decisions on what product you’re selling, how to get your target, and how to promote your business.
Sometimes, the entrepreneurs can be fail too because they don’t have a guaranteed income and uncertain economic crises such as the covid 19 pandemics. A friendly reminder that your income is decided by you, your customers’ interest in your product or services, and the way you survive in economic crisis and technological development.
We have all heard the stories from our friends of the joys and sorrows of being employees. For a conventional job, they can have a regular salary so it is easier to manage their money. The company also gives you some benefits such as insurance, bonuses, employee allowance, paid vacation, achievement awards, and many on. Being an employee can be less stressfull than being an entrepreneur because you don't think of the whole business company.
On the other hand, what you can’t get from being employees is your limited potential. Your boss determines what and when you will get paid and you have a tight schedule for work. Working for someone else can also make it harder to find the kind of passion because your company or boss just telling you certain tasks and activities to do.
