Why haven't you gone into business for yourself?

Well? What's stopping. Why do you keep making the big money for the guys up top and keep collecting a paycheck?

Is it a matter of personal preference? If so, what do you like about working a job that makes you stay over going into business for yourself?

Is it a matter of skill? Is it a matter of security?

Everybody here is good at something. Everybody here has something they could offer the world, at a price, but the vast majority offer it to a company at a much lower price.

What's your reason?

 

Pre-existing health condition. I'm uninsurable without group insurance through work.

 

i thought about that the other day.

I want to be the guy handing out the cheques instead of grabbing one.

 

no interest
no capital
but mostly no interest

 

I didn't say anything about not working. Just asked why you haven't got into business for yourself. You can do both.

 

Wouldn't you much rather be the guy KEEPING the checks?

 

What, professionally, do you think you enjoy or know you enjoy doing?

 

I am.

It's on the side from my other job.

 

i am kinda in buisness for myself but i chose a buisness that i LOVE and it's hard to make money in the wrestling buisness UNLESS you work for the WWE. I'm not big enough for WWE tv, so me and some friends started New Era Wrestling and have been doing decent at it. Just not well enough to make it my full time job.

 

I don't do both because I make enough money from my regular job. All I need is enough. Time is worth more to me.

 

lack of capitol...and pc design & repair is more of a hobby for me...

 

With things like that you don't need much capital, really. Use payments to purchase parts, and charge for shipping. Repair is even easier to do with minimal capital.

Wouldn't you rather do a hobby for good to great money and added freedom than work a normal job?

 

I don't think my business would make it.

 

because maybe not everyone feels the need to live up to YOUR ideals. some people are perfectly content with their jobs.

i wouldnt mind starting my own business though..

 

I'm buying the dance studio I used to work at before I moved out here to California. I asked the same question to myself a few months ago...I know I could do a better job than my boss, so I offered to buy it from her.

I'm in the process of signing a lease to a building and everything will be in my name on June 10th.

Crazy, man...but exciting.

I can have all the tattoos and piercings I want and it's suddenly my ARTISTIC expression instead of a burden on my employer...

Yep, I'm doing the right thing.

 

annie thats amazing!

 

You're just talking shit to talk shit. . .

 

Sounds like it for sure. Best of luck. I think you'll do great.

 

I have.

 

Hey thanks
