SELF-EMPLOYED VS EMPLOYEE

From my point of view, it is better to be self-employed than to be an employee. The advantages of being self employed far outweigh the one of being an employee. Two of the key advantages of being self-employed that I cherish most are:
1. As an entrepreneur, Your business can be inherited while as an employee, your employment can not be inherited.
2. Most employee ( in private sector) are employed by the self-employed folks.

Please share your own view about this subject of discussion in the comments below:

It depends the type of employee and and self employed you are talking about.

Some employees take home about 5milla every month plus tons of benefits while some self employed make 5milla in 10 yrs. And vice versa.

Make enough money by working before venturing into business or whatever you want to do.

Except you're from a wealthy home

justmi1:

How many of such opportunities are available compared to people seeking them. And who says business won't give more over time. Anyway not everyone would be self employed.

Easier said than done.
No more mentions please.
If you want to do business, please do.
I'm an employee, I have a business too... But I tell you, business ain't for the faint hearted.

Self - employed is better than being an employee. Though you may struggle when starting your own business but with consistency and patience, you will have a smooth sail.

It is good to have your own business but your ultimate goal is not to remain there but move to the right side of Robert Kiyosaky's quadrant. This is the Big business owner and the Investor.

As an Investor, you do not have to expend so much knowledge and time to increase your income unlike a self-employed person who is almost awake 247 to ensure the business moves on.

I recommend you read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaky. There is also an audio version of the book.

If everyone decides to be self-employed or entrepreneurs, who would work for another?

As long as my diligent service is handsomely rewarded, I don't give a Bleep about self-employment.

omo e shock me o.

If not that Nigeria is a dysfunctional cesspit powered by corruption, most 'employed', people would just get by. But in Nigeria, mid level or even low level administrative staff with minimal special skills - employed in the civil services and organised private sector somehow find themselves millionaires due to embezzlement, sharp practices and corruption in general.

Self-employed people (small business owners and artisans) make more money than the average civil servant or employee in most serious countries. Not to mention those self employed people who manage to grow their ventures into multi million and even billion dollar enterprises.

iCauseTrouble:
Entrepreneurship is not as easy as people paint it. Any small mistake or miscalculation, your back is already on the ground and you may not be able to come back.
If you have a well paying job, stick to it and use your spare time to build your business. After the business is sustainable, you can resign from your job and build your business more.

@OP, note this and note it well. I was gonna write same but chose to see if someone had already echoed my thoughts. Peace

Wetin I know be say.. employee get levels, being self employed still get levels

For starter, I had been in the two shoe.
But, I tell you.
If the pay of been employed by somebody is good, like over 500k, don't think twice before going for it, especially if it comes with hybrid options.

The seconds option is exactly what I am doing now. Only show up twice in a week (mandatory) at office, and work remotely for the rest of the weekdays.
Some colleagues even comes once a week and work remotely for the rest of weekdays.

No, specific day, just show up on any random day of the weekday.

IyaTola:
Don't be competing with someone you should be learning from"

I have never liked competition.

Every time I compete, I feel pressured and disconnected from others.

I love harmony, peace, collaboration, and win-win situations, kind of like “me happy, you happy.”

I don’t need to watch another person lose the game to feel good about myself.

I don’t need to dominate or put someone else down in order to feel superior and worthy.

In Nigeria, competing is perceived as a sign of ambition, power, and strength.

Most of us grew up hearing constant comparisons, which turned into a habit during our adult lives:

“Do I look better than her? I want to be slimmer.”

“How much is he earning? I want more.”

“Where does she live? I want a house at least that size in Lekki.”

Which car does she/he drives? I want an expensive car

And so on…

Teachers were always making comparisons between students, parents would compare their children to their friends’ or neighbors’ kids, and no one truly encouraged individual talents.

Competitions are almost always win-lose situations.

People who don’t want competition in their lives tend to believe in win-win scenarios.

Instead of looking for ways they can outsmart their opponent, they search for methods to team up with them and overcome whatever obstacle that they face together instead of apart.

By doing that, they double the chance for success

So here what I’ve learned: Everyone is on their own path, and we all do what’s right for ourselves, in our own time.

I believe we live in a supportive Universe where everything unfolds perfectly—at the right time, in the right place.

Comparing ourselves to others is an infinite source of stress and frustration, and it doesn’t serve us well.

I have helped a lot of people to become a Trainer and Data Analyst.

I have given a lot of training and job opportunities to other people too

I believe the world needs fewer fighters and competitors.

The world needs more givers, peacemakers, and soul nurturers, and it also needs more compassion.

okay so....back to the topic....

I have gone through your posts and I see that you are a wretched pauper looking for used cylinder to buy and crying because the typewriter you call a laptop was drenched by water. The money I spend on diesel in just one of my outlets will lift you out of squalor. So, just dey your dey.
I don't want to descend on you cos you will hate your existence if I do.

You have no idea the money you will make every month if you were self-employed.

Open mouth and be talking trash

I was out of job because the Singaporean company I was working with was sold to a Nigerian who absorb everyone into his new company except me and Helen (receptionist/cashier) because I used to be a threat to him while working in the dead company as an accountant that I am, doing my job peacefully, yet someone found it threatening, I mean who would be threatened by an accountant if he doesn't have a skeleton in his cupboard (let's just leave that story like that �) so it was a pay back time for him.

Anyways, my Singaporean employer were still paying me (only me) in USD from Singapore even though I was already out of job (I was at home eating, watching movies and applying for jobs seriously, with every breath in me). I remembered that was what made me opened my first USD account then.

During that time I started job hunting and it was the case of applying for anything 'appliable'. I prayed this period like I have never prayed before in my life, because that other man was waiting for my shame (I mean for how long will the Singaporean company continue paying me without working for them?)

But God showed up greatly for me.......

I received a mail from AFDB for a job I applied for with them like 9 months ago.

I applied for the job even when I never knew the Singaporean company will be sold. Google search just brought it my way that day, I applied and completely forgot about it. When I received the test/interview invite , I was like when did I apply for this one again?

Went through all the recruitment process right in my house (via online) and before you say Jack, my employment letter was sitting pretty in my email.

I was like �is this how someone get job in an international organisation, just like that?

In my mind this may be a scam o...let me just go alone first and see what's happening.

Here I am 5 years after, indeed this God is a faithful God.

Thank you Nera Telecommunications Ltd for being a kind employer (they were paying me my full salary until I resigned and wrote to them that I have gotten a new job), that's for about 5 months.

(how this happened is still beyond my comprehension)

If you are reading this, I pray you will experience unusual kindness that surpasses all human understanding and you will NEVER be put to shame. Anyone waiting for your shame will wait in vain and will wait till eternity.

Boy, I own several businesses some of which push profits of between 20 to 35 per annum. I have 3 others started within the past 2 years, but I doing better than the initial ones, Yet, I don't look down on those in paid employment.

So, forget your empty cappings, a dozen of you are not worthy enough to tell me about entrepreneurship.

As at 2016 when you were looking for a bungalow in Mowe, I was already in real estate selling terraces in Agungi, Osapa and Oniru.
I only use this moniker to look for trouble. Real life, people like you work for my staff. If you want proof, I will show you.
No be mouth, the small change in just 1 of my dorm accounts as at today will lift your family out of poverty.
Entrepreneurship doesn't mean you should look down on those in paid employment. After all, if your father was a Manager in Mobil, you would have had a better childhood than you did.

Add everything together, multiply it by 10. That's what I made when I sold a house in January this year. That is just 1 transaction in one of my hustles. Yet, I don't talk down on salary earners.
Ask your sister if her customers are salary earners or entrepreneurs. Without salary earners as customers, entrepreneurs will starve.
Tell your sister to be consistent. In a few years, she will be balling big.

Those stupid boys I was replying to are some daft punks who lack commonsense.
