Everyone has their different level of comforts in life.

If every one runs a business. Then they cannot hire any staffs. If everyone wants to be employed... then they will be jobless.

When it comes to business... people always confuse self-employment and business altogether. Especially those MLM/network marketers.
Self-employment is basically spending a small sum of your money to make more money in return.
Real business includes having to lookout for the shareholders in the company. Having to pay the staff.  Having people relying on you to make a living.

So for a person earning 7k to 10k a month. It is comfortable. And such person may just like to do wharever they are doing. But if they are being thrust into self-employment... most of them may not last long. Don't even mention business.

So work on your own pace, walk according to your capacity and do not be pressured by peers who think working for others is low-life.
