I am an entrepreneur for over two decades .. and never went back to employment... there have been numerous ups n downs .. but I had the determination and have accumulated a lot of creative n intellectual wealth, that I know someday will reap great benefits. I was able to do many things which I could not have achieved while being in employment. But the greatest problem is lack of company .. nobody to drive us .. and all to be handled on our own .. So we need a lot of self initiative and drive to be afloat.
Do feel free to discuss options and perhaps I can give you some do's n don'ts .. and how you can go for a smooth transition .. Also depends on the industry you are in and how it works.. or you wish to get into trade or business ..

It's harder than working for someone else!
There's NO guaranteed paychecks.
You can't call in sick!
You can't take vacations!
You can't be down because your customers won't understand.
There's paperwork, taxes, licenses, fees, bills, rent, employees, and many hard hours of work!
Sometimes if you're lucky your customers will pay you on time!
There's no guaranteed profits.
There's 1000s of articles online about starting, running, and failing at business.

I've had my own business about 12 years now and it's a lot of work and hours but I wouldn't have it any other way.
My Dad helped me finance equipment, a good book keeper and the like so I don't have to worry about the little things. He also had his own business.
Get's old working for others!

I've been in business one year for a net profit around a third of a million. You'll need a very marketable idea, manageable overhead, and strong determination.

I run my own business. It requires hard work and self-discipline, but is very rewarding.
I've always worked for someone else. I've had thoughts about running my own business....but never felt I had the financial security while raising my family. I may go into a more consulting type of role as my kids go to college...but most likely will stick with another company until I retire. I have great respect for those that have the discipline and drive to run their own.

Believe in yourself
Have faith in your abilities
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.💓
