After I graduated as an accountant, I started working for a big company, but was making very little money, and I never got promoted. I began doing freelance accounting work and realized I didn’t need that low paying job.
I’m 26 now, and I got my own accouting office, and I’m an employer of 3 people.
I’m making more money than most people I went to college with.
But somehow, some people make comments about me starting my own business being a pathetic because I couldn’t do any better.
Some people say setting up my own office at some place I rent is not as big accomplishment as being given an office by some company.
I’m making more money than most people working for companies. I don’t have boss to put up with, I don’t follow anyone’s orders unlike most of my old classmates.
My business is growing, but some people tells me I don’t have a career for not working in a company. Some people have called me unemployed.
Why is having your own business viewed so negatively?
Most people will sell their body mind spirit and time for a job and supposed "security" that comes with it.
ur lucky to start a biz b4 being forced to do
so like so many will be as years go by.
most people ‘wish’ to be self sufficient
but can’t handle the highs/lows of being owner.
you have the ability to increase ur earnings , lower ur taxes, secure ur future , retire with dignity . they will not.
