And it's much more "scalable" to do businesses, eg you can hire people who help you make more money. Whereas if you hold a day job, you only have a pair of hands and 24 hours a day.
Taking the plunge is easy. Getting there is not though! 
Good luck! |
Thanks bro for sharing. I thought I was the weird one who have similar aspirations as you. The thought of slogging it out in an office trying to earn 100-200k or more a year is crap. Not my kind of life. Most of the rich pple i know are self-employed. Well-to-do ones from banks (front office), and normal guys like myself from MNCs, Stat boards etc.
I always think any industry can make good money if you are good and able to deliver your goods and services in a smarter, faster and good manner.
I think I need some time to convince my wife too...
