Employment vs Entrepreneurship ; Security vs Freedom
Most of us don't like our dead end jobs. But the financial security it offers is a safety blanket no one can deny. Having a regular day job will surely give you a bi-monthly paycheck regularly. The job security of employment is something everyone should consider. But there are people who are already tired of the corporate slavery. The usual scenario of downgrading, bullying bosses,office politics and stress is inevitable. The corporate rat race brings a feeling of mediocrity and unfulfillment. And to some who have spent the rest of their lives in a cubicle do have regrets for taking the safety route.
Some people, especially the creative types dared to take risk of having an irregular paycheck. These are the people who have the entrepreneurial spirit, to have a business of their own by using their talents and skills.
Imagine if the world didn't have these individuals with entrepreneurial mindset. Do you think the world would be a better place? Imagine if Steve Jobs(Macintosh), Henry Ford(Ford Motors), Ray Croc (Macdonald's) and Bill Gates(Microsoft) just remained as employees and didn't took the risk, will there be great contributions that will ever exists? These pioneering minds choose freedom over security. Their innovative spirit should be something everyone should admire because they took the risk, regardless if they'll succeed or fail.
But the road to entrepreneurship isn't an easy path. You will be required to work for longer hours and initially for a lower pay. But the upsides will outgrow the downsides. Because once you already established your business, there's no greater feeling of pride and accomplishment that you've made on your own. And the income potential is virtually unlimited. But many aspiring novice entrepreneurs failed. They have regrets why they left their regular paying job.
The best solution to this scenario is to find a way of balance. If you're an employee who are dreaming to get out the corporate world and strive for your long time entrepreneurial aspirations. You can do moonlighting. You will still keep you regular 9-5 job but start your business on a part time basis. It can be through blogging were you earn passive income or sell online. You're main goal is to go through a gradual transition first. From employment and eventually to entrepreneurship.Because having a regular paycheck will definitely give you the capital to grow your business. The seed money you have can grow as you reinvest by developing a certain product or service you like.
So focus on your expertise, your own strengths. If you're good in writing, you can self-publish, blogs or write an ebook. If you have the knowledge in graphic arts and design, you can start a logo business and anything the likes of it. Capitalize on your skills, remember the saying,"do what you love and the money will follow". Once you feel that your business is already established and earns more than your regular job. Perhaps, it's time to decide whether go full time. Remember, there will always be inherent risk. So expect the worse and do your best.
A job security is okay.But earning money and freedom on something you love to do is one of the most wonderful feeling.
