Work for yourself vs. Work for somebody else

Here are the most common questions we all ask each day....what am I going to do for my future? what I wanna be in life? Of course we all are the same...everybody struggle when it comes to that point in life, but the choice that we make is what make us distinct. When we talk about the future usually it means job. Most of us don't know when this thing begin but it has been in our society and became part of our life. Why do we have to work and why job is so important? because that's what we all believe. We need to work to support ourselves, our family, and also our economy. It also gives us pride and honor. There are two choices of work that we can choose from, WORK FOR YOURSELF or WORK FOR SOMEBODY ELSE. Of course both have their own strengths and weaknesses but which one is it that suit us the most.

Being an entrepreneur is not that simple but also is not that hard. We all thing that an entrepreneur must be someone that has big idea and has the financial support to develop that idea. We also think that an entrepreneur is someone that has talent, specific skills, or even born with it. That assumption is true but also wrong. A true entrepreneur is someone who start a new business venture and willing to work hard and take the risk to make that business successful. Not all of them born with it but also they are made. The most important thing are the achievement and determination. We may not have all the skills and personality traits to become an entrepreneur but we must have self-esteem and believe in ourselves to reach success.

Being our own boss or work for ourselves give us more freedom and sense of self-worth. It allows us to choose for ourselves, to make decisions, and to prospect for the future. It liberates us from all the rules and regulations. It helps build our confidence, thought, values, and leadership. Of course there are always problems or dilemmas in the way but that is one of the risk that we need to face. All the challenges we meet in our business venture will help us become an effective leader and a successful entrepreneur. Being our own boss give us courage to do the things that we love to do and give us the strength to do what we love. The cons of being our own boss are we have to sacrifice most of our personal time in the business, stress level is high, and sometime after we get caught up in the business it takes the fun out of it. So that is why it is important for us to manage our time and effort in order for us to stay focus on what we want to accomplish.

Working for somebody else also has its own pros and cons. The pros are lower level of risk, maintain a higher level of performance, and increase team work and decision making. The cons are sometime we lost our freedom to express our idea and get bored so easily because of the same type of work everyday, lower level of challenge. Of course it is not always true but it commonly known. Also, there are people who work for a small or big company and dearly love their job, and THAT IS OK. Usually people who work for a company or organization expect something in return like retirement plan, insurance coverage, etc. Most people choose that path because of that reason, but what happen when the economy strike? most people lost their retirement plan and income. Different with small business venture, even in a bad economy, it has higher chance of survival.

We have the power to choose for ourselves and build our future. Whether we want to start a new business or work for other people, both have a tremendous affect on our life. The most significance thing is that we have to have a goal, it will lead us to where do we want to be in life. Believe in ourselves, aware of what we can and can't do, be positive, maintain self-confident, brave to take the risk, and strive harder to reach success.
