Would you like to have your own firm? Or just a very well paid job?

I have been thinking about this quite a bit recently and I was, well am, trying to work out a way that I can turn a fun hobby into a money making enterprise. I am still working/thinking on it but the more I think about it the more I like it. I don't know if it will come to fruition or not but it sounds very appealing.

Well, it depends... i don't think i am "strong" enough to handle my own firm, although it is better to make your own schedule and have no one to boss you around, but a good payed job is also a fine idea.
I've been thinking lately about this, what is best, and i though about this: if an employee earns a good buck, the employer has to pay a lot of money as taxes, and what if the Big boss remains with less money (after paying taxes and expenses) than the employee ... :shock: This is what i'm afraid of... and also ti think the boss has more work to do than the simple employee.... he just comes to work, does his job and goes home with money, while the boss has a lot of problems and it is up to him to get the money and pass them on to the employees....
Of course, this is just my scary opinion :mrgreen:

Well in part you are right Adi. As we already chatted, you kinda know what having your own implies. The fact you cannot go home after 8 hours of work (or whatever schedule you're on) and not care. Sometimes you have to work nights and weekends, just to make sure you are able to earn something. I am dead scared so far, but also excited. It's something new, a lot of work, and still... a lot of fun ..

Romaona, I think as long as it is fun that's what makes it more appealing. It doesn't really seem like work then. Well to me it doesn't

yeah, i would like to have my own restaurant or cafe someday
