"if you start a business you won't have a boss" - thethethe coli dotcom

[It is a mystery]

You actually have multiple "bosses" (clients) who will want you to do things for you without any way of expressing what they actually want because they are a client and don't study your industry. If you are doing Financial consulting for example, your boss hopefully will understand finance. If you are doing IT consulting, your boss will likely understand IT.
Granted if you really cannot communicate with the client you could turn them down (which leads to them not being a promoter which is still bad), you could run a business where what you are making is standardized with no deviations for any particular customer(which can be tricky depending on what you want to do), etc. but there is ups and downs with everything

Having a business has several advantages but the "no boss" thing IMO isn't one of them.

A business with no customers.... Give us some examples

You can choose your clients, if you work for someone else's business you gotta work with whoever your supervisors assign you to.

Now if you're an "all money is money" type, which most are, then yea there's no difference, so...

No clients are not your bosses unless you let them boss you around. If your offering is in high demand and you act like it, people will beg to buy from you and kiss your ass instead of the other way around. If your clients are your bosses it just means that you're doing business wrong.

Starting your own business isnt always as great as thecoli makes it out to be. Youll prolly end up working a lot harder and much longer hours...

And in the end theres no guarantee of success.

Im not saying dont do it... Jus saying

The personal freedom is really the only thing. Which is cool for some. I don't mind a boss as long as he talks to me like a man.

My dad owns his own carpentry business.

He can go on vacation whenever he gets ready but don't get it twisted. When someone's house is torn apart like hell they can and will bytch and call your ass every second.

Most black people aren't equipt for the entrepreneurial life. Our dads and grandads didn't put us on generational business game. We strive for "jobs" and "titles" but with the younger generations coming up in such a bad economy the spirit is coming back. I see a lot of young black people doing real business these days and it's a beautiful thing.

First step to owning your own business is figuring out what you want to go. When you figure that out, work for someone and get a mentor to learn game with the eventual goal of building your own shyt.
