As far as having a job goes (not yoloing in gme stocks)

it probably puts you in a better position to accrue wealth if youre working for yourself

Entrepreneurship has the greatest variability.

Sure you can make $60k/year but your % of the company could also grow to be valued at $6 billion+.

You will never that kind of coin working for someone else. Outside of becoming a CEO comp typically caps out at $1m. Obviously that can provide a great life but you need a % to build real massive wealth Imo.

Youll have to work 12 to 14 hours a day to make bank

You realize Mark Zuckerberg and many other Billionaire CEO/CFOs made $0/year in salary for many years right and still do to this day if I'm not mistaken. LOL this stat doesnt prove chit.

The best thing is you're your own boss.

Really the only way to get wealthy is through high paid specialized work (medicine, law, high end programmer) and save like a mother ****er. Even then those that get rich really do so through entrepreneurship aka partner at their firm, own a medical practice, have equity in a business, etc. other way is become an executive of a business (C suite, not upper management) but even then, no guarantees OR true entrepreneurship



It’s no surprise capitalism rewards those who own capital. Having someone else pay you is a way to a good life, but you won’t become wealthy that way. People think doctors are wealthy, they really aren’t. Someone making 80k a year and saving 25% of their income will have a similar net worth at retirement to the average physician for example

Assuming you're in the small % of businesses that make it, sure.

True but there’s different kinds of entrepreneurship. Most just own a restaurant, tradie service, etc. you can still do well with that but you aren’t being wealthy unless you can scale it or get acquired

Alot of business owners take $0 in salary for tax purposes but pay themselves in other ways, it isnt just billonaires but keep being a corporate boot licking cuck LMFAO.

You are right I agree. Sure those guys are 1 in a million. Tell me how many employees get to a $1b net worth without equity.. I’ll answer for you: zero.

Risk/reward

Yea but “small business owners” can still be wealthy as ****. The richest people I know own:

- car wishes
- auto mechanic shops
- window installation company
Etc


They all think big picture though

this.

brb-business owners would rather buy a luxury car as a business expense vice paying the same amount in taxes

Though I will agree 100% that there’s survivor bias. And you shouldn’t become an entrepreneur to get rich. You should do it because you feel limitations at your current job and have a skill you can bring to the marketplace that there’s demand for

in your case op, yes. No one wants a fraud working for them
