Pros
and
cons
of
having
your
own
business
One
researcher
found
that
-
people
have
four
times
higher
chance
of
becoming
millionaires
than
those
who
are
employed
by
a
company
.
Think
about
people
in
your
area
or
people
you
know
.
Is
it
not
true
that
those
who
are
quite
wealthy
often
have
their
own
business
?
Even
if
they
complain
that
they
have
too
little
money
,
they
seem
to
have
a
great
car
,
a
modern
house
,
and
all
the
latest
gadgets
.
It
can't
be
that
bad
then
!
It
may
be
true
to
some
extent
.
However
,
it's
not
as
easy
as
it
seems
.
According
to
U
.
S
.
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
,
about
half
of
new
businesses
survive
five
years
or
more
,
and
about
one
-
third
survives
ten
years
or
more
.
It
means
that
50
percent
of
these
new
projects
.
If
you
are
thinking
of
setting
up
a
small
company
,
take
a
look
at
some
pros
and
cons
of
it
.
Advantages
Almost
everyone
on
this
planet
,
at
some
point
at
least
,
works
in
exchange
for
money
.
Do
you
feel
you
work
very
hard
,
but
you
just
can't
make
enough
money
?
Being
self
-
employed
,
you
can
make
much
more
money
than
working
for
someone
else
.
In
the
course
of
time
,
if
you
have
employees
,
they
will
be
bringing
you
additional
money
as
well
.
Also
,
this
way
you
can
be
your
own
boss
,
and
make
all
the
important
decisions
yourself
.
Finally
,
it's
you
who
is
.
If
you
are
the
boss
,
you
decide
when
you
work
and
when
you
have
a
day
off
.
Such
flexibility
is
wonderful
,
especially
if
you
have
a
family
.
You
can
also
choose
your
workplace
and
people
you
work
with
.
If
you
have
an
annoying
or
lazy
business
partner
or
supplier
,
you
can
usually
change
them
.
No
one
can
you
,
so
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
that
.
Last
but
not
least
,
you
work
in
a
field
that
you
really
enjoy
,
so
your
satisfaction
level
is
higher
.
Disadvantages
To
set
up
a
business
,
people
usually
have
to
take
some
financial
.
They
need
to
invest
money
into
it
.
If
everything
goes
well
,
they
won't
lose
that
money
.
This
is
of
course
what
everyone
hopes
for
.
Even
though
you
are
your
own
boss
,
you'll
probably
have
to
work
long
hours
because
you
are
for
everything
.
To
reduce
costs
,
probably
you
will
have
to
do
more
than
just
one
job
.
Maybe
you
will
need
to
learn
new
to
be
all
-
in
-
one
:
a
manager
,
an
accountant
,
a
marketing
specialist
,
a
customer
service
specialist
,
a
secretary
,
and
more
.
Also
,
sometimes
you
may
earn
a
lot
,
but
sometimes
you
may
earn
almost
nothing
.
This
can
be
very
stressful
.
So
what
is
more
important
to
you
?
Freedom
?
Good
salary
?
Flexibility
?
Job
security
?
A
satisfying
job
?
Your
answer
will
tell
you
whether
being
self
-
employed
is
something
for
you
or
not
.
It
could
be
a
dream
come
true
,
but
it
could
also
be
the
worst
nightmare
.
Let's
check
what
you
remember
