For a long time now i have been trying to convince myself that own business has a better proposition in life than being a salaried individual. This has often made me take a few steps towards own startups but have hesitated at the last moment due to comforts of the job. Also the job makes sure that there are better opportunities that will be at hand after short stints at various firms.

Want your views on the topic and would also invite business propositions/ideas if any that you have tried or ever thought of trying ?

For example my own steps were in the direction of opening a restaurant, a cab company and an online real estate vertical.
 
Yes, this Idea comes to mind frequently who are having an NOT A GOOD boss.

Both are having pros and cons. You need to understand first the desire and your basic way of working, dealing with people. Thats why consultancy comes into picture.

There is no best way, you should get the best out of ways. It depends on the personality type. And Ram Nivash Sangwan Sir can explain or guide better here.

On this forum, there are many People. Some are businessman and some are salaried employee. They all can put their ideas, and how this impact on life and life style.

Best of luck.
 
opening a restaurant:- You Need to be a VERY GOOD COOK Yourself

a cab company :- You need ability to ignore compalints like your driver was seen loading SAVARI's
 
Salaried job brings regular income. It's considerable less risky. It helps one to plan ahead.

On the other hand, a business provides opportunity for exploring and utilizing ones full potential. The risks are high with lots of uncertainties in the beginning. If you don't have a good mentor and an upper hand, then the initial phase often becomes painful.

My take is that those who can take the risk and bear the pain do eventually succeed.

For opening a consultancy you need the capability to talk with others in decent manner, especially with girls, otherwise your tele-callers will run away :)

कोई भी व्यवसाय शुरू करने से पहले उसका अनुभव होना बहुत जरूरी है, तभी उस धंधे की कमियां-खूबियां पता लगती हैं, नहीं तो असफलता के आसार बढ़ जाते हैं. केवल इस वजह से व्यवसाय शुरू करना कि मालिक बन जाएंगे, यह कोई ज्यादा बढ़िया वजह नहीं है. अपने काम में भी तमाम सिरदर्दियां हैं. जिसे माल बेचना है, तब वे परेशान करते हैं, समय पर पैसा नहीं देते, कहीं भ्रष्ट सरकारी अधिकारी, कहीं असामाजिक तत्त्व...एक बॉस की ड्यूटी परेशानी के हिसाब से नौकरों से भी ज्यादा सख्त हो जाती है...अगर समय से आएगा-जाएगा नहीं तो नौकर भट्ठा बिठा देंगे, काम ठीक से नहीं करेंगे...
कहीं बढ़िया जगह फ़्लैट/मकान हो, घर में सभी जरूरी सामान हों...अगर अच्छा-खासा बैंक बैलेंस है तो उसे करवाओ फिक्स और फिर कोई 20,000 + का कोई इज्जत का काम पकड़ो, बीमा-वीमा करवा लो और चुपचाप जिंदगी पूरी करके यहां से निकल लो...अपना काम तभी अच्छा लगता है, मानो (उदाहरण के लिए) किसी ने रेहड़ी पर रोटी बेकने से काम शुरू किया, फिर जब ग्राहक बढ़े तो ढाबा बना लिया, फिर जब और नाम चल निकला तो रेस्तरां बना लिया...कहने का मतलब एक सीढ़ी से दूसरी पर...या फिर ऐसा कुछ विरासत में मिल गया हो...ये कुर्सी पर बैठकर बॉस बनना भी कोई ज्यादा बढ़िया काम नहीं है...इंसान जितना सक्रिय रहे उतना ही अच्छा है...अच्छा स्वास्थ्य बहुत बड़ी नेमत है...
हालांकि नौकरी भी कोई ज्यादा बढ़िया बात नहीं है...कुछ ऐसा किया जाए कि काम और पैसे का मतलब हो (फ्री-लांस टाइप)...जीवन को यूं ही जाया न जाने देने की इच्छा हो तो फिर तो कुछ विशेष करने की कोई सीमा ही नहीं है...जिंदगी तो संघर्षशील तब भी बनी ही रहती है....मेरा ख्याल है कि इंसान को 1 लाख के 10 लाख और 10 लाख के 10 करोड़ रुपए बनाने को तरक्की नहीं मानना चाहिए...उसने अपनी सेवा/उत्पाद/कला से लोगों को कितना खुश किया, कितना अच्छा नाम कमाया, यह लक्ष्य होना चाहिए...
नोट : ये मेरे निजी विचार हैं, जरूरी नहीं है कि दूसरे भी ऐसा ही सोचते हों.

Online or offline, both ways real estate business is most profitable nowadays. One doesn't need much skill and capital for starting this business. Quite recently, I disposed off some property through a property dealer (who happened to be a distant relative also - at least I considered him to be so). I was surprised to know through some other dealers and individuals that the property had been again announced to be ready 'for sale' even before the stipulated time of registry and was fetching the intermediary (dealer-cum-relative) a profit of Rupees 5-6 lakhs before the payment date. Very lucrative business, if one has no scruples.

A wise man wrote somewhere and fortunately, I got chance to read that line. He said : "If you have a strong urge to start a bizz, you should first talk to someone who is in that bizz."

Bro, i quit my job of an US MNC 1.5 year back and started my own bizz. I have a lot to share.

Best of luck for you startup.

shi kaha h gi aapne.... log kya kahenge... log nokri ko pata nhi kya samjhte h....
 
in my view own business is better than a job. to start a business you have to work hard. in starting returns are low but once you are set well you are the king of your word. While in job you have to work 4 others all the time.
 
Some of the advantages of Self business over salaried professional

Salaried Professional: Fixed salary Linear growth with peanut raise every year
Business: Exponential growth 10x to 100x

Salaried Professional: Work for fixed time a day say 9:00 to 6:00
Business: Enjoy the luxury of flexibility

Salaried Professional: Bounded by frustrating rules.
Businesss: you are your own boss so no rules to break.

Salaried Professional: Thinking of retirement will not be less than atleast 60years
Business: Can think of getting retired at the age of 40 to 50 years

Salaried Professional: Answer each and every tom dick regarding the work
Business: no one to answer as you are your own boss.

All depends what you want both are good at there respective places.
