The two can't be compared financially and otherwise. There are more advantages for a business owner than for a salary earner.

A business owner has a steady inflow of cash in their hands, while a salary earner depends solely on their monthly salary, which may not be enough for them.
A business owner can wake up at any time to head to their shop, but a salary earner can't try that; their job and life activities revolve around their job. They don't have control over their job description to go and come back at any time.
A business owner is answerable to no one concerning the running of their business, but a salary earner is answerable to their boss; they can be sacked at any time. Their job is not guaranteed for long
