I agree with this, risk is unavoidable even though we are employees. But being an entrepreneur is more able to develop the potential that is in ourselves. Being entrepreneurs we are required to be more creative, I'm not saying that being an employee is not creative, but there are fundamental differences there. Being an employee we have got the main task of the company.
All professions have their own strengths and weaknesses, but if I had to choose I would be more interested in being a ruler.
Being self employed doesnt automatically means that we would really be having that job forever which there's still a certain risk that you might able to lose that job and if you dont make yourself other
back up investment or businesses then your fucked since there are no other source of income you do have unless if you do get some job directly after you've been fired or laid off.
There's no assurance or guarantees on this world even on dealing with those typical things.This is why it would be more wise and sensible if you do always set out Plan B or Plan C and so on....
That's why we are required to keep using our brains in this case, we live where when we do nothing and just stay silent then we are left behind. It's no secret when we live in an era that uses the law of the jungle but in a different version.
A backup plan still has to be done so that we don't just sit idly by on one point even though it is a good thing to do a focus in one area, but when we fail we are confused about starting over, but when there are several backup plans then we won't be too bothered with things.
