![]() “It sounds like you’re trying to say being my own boss requires too much risk and sacrifice.”Īctually, in spite of all this, being the head of your own company is awesome! I’ve come to believe the best leaders are the people who have learned to be great followers. You could say your day job is effectively the risk-free practice ground for everything you want to do on your own-why not make the most of it? Be inspired, be fulfilled Heck, even going on a holiday means that you don’t get any jobs while you’re away and after you return, because clients have forgotten you exist for a while (and therefore, you guessed it, have no money to get by). For example, a new marketing strategy might result in you getting no sales that month (and therefore, have no money to get by) trying out a new product might require you to invest more to develop it (and therefore, have no money to get by). But you will have to do most of it alone, and it will come at a big risk. Sure, you will have all the freedom in the world to experiment and try anything once you are your own boss. It’ll be there even if you make mistakes, upset the clients, or just simply, mess up.Īnd the best part: you have people around you to share all these experiences with. There will be a salary waiting for you at the end of the month, no matter how much you explore your curiosity or how much initiative you show. It doesn’t matter if your day job isn’t related to what you’d like to be doing, the principle still stands. I believe it’s because I was aware enough to realise the beauty of having a day job-you are paid to learn and grow. “Wait, are you saying you regret quitting your job?” But you’ll just have to do them anyway, because guess what? There’s just no one else to do it for you. There’s also going to be a whole bunch of tasks you won’t find fulfilling. Unappreciative clients/customers will likely replace the unappreciative boss.Īnd surprise, surprise, the long working hours are going to get MUCH LONGER once you branch out on your own! Not to mention, the money will probably be worse too-at least for the first few years. You’ll probably be forced to deal with a rude supplier instead of a rude supervisor. I hate to break it to you, annoying business partners might one day take the place of your annoying co-workers. The worst thing is, I don’t even find my job fulfilling! I can’t wait to quit my job so I won’t have to deal with all this anymore.” “Where do I even begin? My annoying co-workers, my rude supervisor, my unappreciative boss, long working hours, and lousy pay.
