I wanted to drop you a comment and say “excellent blog entry”.

I’ve been working for myself full time for almost a year to the day and have never looked back. This certainly is the life - though it may not be for everyone.

As someone who has owned a successful small business for 11 years, I get tied of hearing other business owners complain about their employees. We employ ten, and have had just three people quit since we began. Our employees are fantastic because our business ethos supports who they are.

The issue is that businesses treat their employees as commodity rather than as people. All wealth is oriented toward the business owner or share holders instead of fairly being distributed among the employees and the larger community which supports the company.

I have found that generosity and humanity are best business practices. Our company works in a circle rather than a pyramid. Weâ€™ve had ten years of double digit growth and my wife and I leave our company for four to six weeks a year every year to travel. When we come back, thereâ€™s day of work on our desk. If you want to learn how we do it, see my blog, http://www.circlemanifesto.com

ok, working for someone else dones not make you wealthy and it isn’t total security but working for yourself is no cakewalk - taxes, finding affordable health insurance (even in a pool), marketing, etc - I can say though that you either own a big company or do most everything yourself and contract out what you can’t do or the cost of owning a small business with all the government requirements will pay everyone but you! Robert Kioysaki says if he had it to do over again he’d start with network marketing - the product is developed, the marketing plan can be duplicated, and you get paid what you’re worth!

Isn’t it worth pointing out, as larry kahn did, that working for yourself won’t necessarily make you rich either? I would think, then, that if your motivation to work for yourself is purely financial, you’re way more likely to fail than succeed.

I forget the exact numbers, but with 1% of the world’s population controlling 90% of the world’s wealth, it seems pretty obvious that hardly ANYBODY actually gets rich - though I’m sure a comfortable living can be made by selling other people your “secrets to creating wealth.”
