Even if you don't get rich, just being your own boss and having control over your life puts you as you said at a much better place.
If the business is something you are passionate about, the hours and effort won't seem like work.
The satisfaction gained from running your own business sees many continuing to work well past normal retirement ages, while for 9 to 5 employees retirement cannot come soon enough.

>>>If the business is something you are passionate about, the hours and effort won't seem like work.<<<

Mark Twain once said, "work is what a fellow is obliged to do". If you treat your business as a hobby, it's not work.

And then when employees retire, they don't know what to do with themselves and the stress ages them quickly.

Most businesses have a way of winding down naturally, so retirement is less abrupt.
