Salary earners end up spending their salary buying from the business owners making the business owners to get profit from the business while the salary earners end up with nothing.
OP, it seems that from the start, you answer yourself the question of your topic.😁
Indeed, if you want more from your life, being an employee will never get you there. No matter what you get paid, being a business owner is the only way to get higher. Now, that doesn't mean that having a business will instantly make you rich. A lot of businesses failed since people are not the same, and they don't all have the same skills or the means to make their business successful. Thus, it's better to know if you are capable of being a businessman before you try to be one.😉
