Job vs Business by Jodekss

As long as there will always be a classed society, whether directly or indirectly, the number of workers in stats will always be much more than that of the business owners.

Why?

One man can cook up an idea and strive hard to see to its successful execution yet, he cannot operate every office by himself when the business starts thriving. A successful business would be broad with vast scope of existence in the competitive world of economy, thus, he cannot be everywhere at all times - he has to employ others other than himself as a result. That has been how labour and service or master and servant works right from the said first business, farming back in time.

However, the best thing remains trying to be one of the few bosses out there managing a business at least and employing others to help himself and them earn. Even if you earn 1 million naira weekly, your boss pays you that because you had helped him or her make at least 2 or 3 million naira per week. Yes, whoever says managing a business is easy is a rich liar. That is why only few people will always be able to be the richest per continent compared to the otherwise. It is not easy and it takes time and insane creativity. Workers get sacked every now and then, others die suddenly without knowing it would come that early (God forbid for us all here and our loved ones) only for the company to put a notice of vacancy next on the following Monday morning or so. Why? Because the business need to keep moving. It is not the big building or name that runs firms but people, any gap left unfilled must be filled on time lest... All the allowances would be retrieved immediately, the private cars, the private house would be culled back and that is it for top hands though. The children or the siblings for instance cannot go and claim this position. If sacked, they cannot go and protest as to why. But a business owned by you, even if/when the worst comes to its worst in the widest shades of the figment of our imaginations, the business WOULD continue to run. The children, the wife or the relative would still have entitlement whatsoever. Now that is the best. Being the boss is the best - but it is not easy. It takes maximum effort to achieve maximum result - not by muscle NO but grace and hard thinking on what one can offer differently.

My àdúrà/prayer is may most of us be the BOSS eventually in whichever field we find ourselves. Today, we might be servants yes, life is one step then the next. And um, some people or we all actually need to serve others first, so that we would be able to know how to lead others later. There are few people who have ideas actually but no economic resources to fund it, thus they would endure, maybe a decade of serving a boss to garner resources, and then resign and establish.
