ITT, insecure failures deride those actually doing well in life in an attempt to compensate for their own shortcomings.

God you are dumb. A lemon aid stand is a business, but it's not an accplishment and not very profitable. Owning a business isn't inherently good or successful. As you clearly exhibit

Gotta agree. A lot of small business owners actually end up making less than they would if they were working for someone else if you consider the amount of hours they put in.



This is not an enviable place to be by default.

It is a trade-off.

Owning your own business takes longer hours, way more effort (in most, but not all, circumstances), and the willingness to take on risk. On the other hand, you don't have any bosses (other then your customers or clients) and you don't have to do anything. You can be as lazy or motivated as you want. And, crucially for many people, you can do it from home. Some weeks, I work 80 hours or more. Other works, I take two or three days off, and enjoy myself. This sort of flexibility is why I decided to open my businesses in the first place. I also like the idea that success or failure depends primarily on me: I don't have to rely on other people for my income to be secure, I can just do it myself.

I would say that owning your own business doesn't mean anything inherently, other than that you value freedom of action more highly than security. And that isn't necessarily a good or bad thing; it really depends on what you want, and what your situation is. Beyond that, there really isn't much you can conclude about people who own their own businesses.

Different strokes for different folks. Nothing wrong with Dylan working as a lawyer in a firm that another person owns.
