Yes, the ebb and flow of business must also be studied more deeply before doing activities, if the company goes bankrupt then the capital will also be affected even though it is a risk from it. But I agree that if you want to gain wealth a little faster then you should become a businessman as much as possible. I have seen several examples in my environment that an employee will find it quite difficult to become rich compared to a businessman.
Now becoming a businessman is no longer difficult for everyone as long as they are able to bind trust with several parties or with several well-known companies even though they must also be funded with sufficient money. Because in the current conditions where the economic situation is not easy to predict, it has indeed forced everyone to be able to improve themselves in working so that everyone is no longer enough if they only rely on income by becoming an employee in an agency, including in government agencies where salaries vary greatly for each position.
it depends on what you mean by Businessman no longer difficult. While ways into entering businesses have become easier due to more business ideas and models flourishing, it doesn't mean business is no longer difficult. The kind of investment you're talking about is only for people who have enough capitals. As a matter of fact, business has always been easy for people with enough capital even in the past, all you just have to do is to invest in a thriving business as a shareholder and invest your capitals into different businesses then wait to grow together with the business.
The thing is a lot of people still rely on the income they get from their workplaces which have further undermined their financial capacity and the poverty line at large. The government have equally contributed to this crisis as they do not find ways towards supporting small and medium level businesses disallowing people of such level from enjoying easy of doing business. For most countries in Africa, the government does not take up its responsibility to make business life easy for people rather the lack of basic amenities such as electricity have further made business worse for the people and faced out a lot who could not withstand the pressure.
