Debate : JOB OR BUSINESS

[GTRZ]

guyz.........job wnt wrkout!! coz we jst do da same life evryday!! nothin intersting!
but business it have a interesting life!! same things dont repeat!!
and think!!
only if we do business!!! we can b a millionre!! not with jobs!!
do Bill Gates doin job, do Ambani doin job........ all the top ten billioners are doin business not JOB!!

it depends, some times business are also just the same thing everyday.
You can be a millionaire doing a job too. If you have skills you can shine in the job market. You can earn salary and package worth much more than some big businessmen can earn too. If the company you working is big and you are holding a very high position then its much better life than a businessmen.
Actually if you are take decisions for the company then doing some part of a true businessman too.

FIRST DO JOB, AFTER THINK BUSINESS.BECAUSE YOU CAN LEARN LOT OF THINGS FOR YOUR BUSINESS.THIS IS MY EXPERIANCE.

and yeah i knw abt Da ceo... he isnt a famous millionre he is still earning!!
even he earn dat much of money... he must work under a boss...
luk if he gets dat much of money!! wot abt da boss... da business man!!

*Even the employers of Microsoft make softwares and help Microsft to devolop!! no one knows about them... If we say Microsoft Bill Gates will com to our mind!!

CEO mean one of the top skilled persons in a company. Big company CEO mean he has some exceptional all round skills.
Mostly board of directors and share holders etc.. share the profit of such company.
CEO's are such skilled people they may be getting more money than some one in board of directors. highly skilled, experienced, well known CEO's are very crucial for big business so they will pay any amount to hire such person.

yeah true
no satisfied with ur job is a tiny reason to start ur own thingy

GT aiya Aleval walata Commerce da kale ??
commerce kala nam BUsiness studies hondata karala thiyenawa

but 50% of da ppl hu freshly starts a business leaves withing one year
95 % of em leaves within 4 years
market reaserch's prove dat point

but i think most people today are kinda wise cuz b4 starting a business they do Market researches n all so they can calculate what kind of Risk or is the market really suitable 4 them or not

Well i did maths bro, but i am just interested in this subject

Ya that happens due to the skill level. In the competitive business environment most skilled people will gain success while others loose it even they had some skills. So its the way of business.

Anyway what i said was people quit jobs and start business because they have some self confidence with them about their skills. But in the real environment most skilled people will gain the success while others loose.

Well will agree to them to some extend. Ya its hard to start and do business here. But as i know there is a huge advantage in here.
There are lots of areas in the market you can start your business and dominate. In srilanka still there are lots of areas that no one has even touched. But on other countries its total competition on that niche. So it’s easy to find some area to start something with less or no competition.

yeah true
lot's of areas untouched
very easy to come up with a GOOD business Idea

but ppl r catching the niche marketing areas nowadayz
cuz every one is hoping to start a business

but still dere r some deep down Business Niches dat needs to be discoverd in ova here.........
for an example look at the private tution industry in sri lanka
there r lot's of plcs that r called tution institutions n dey really lack in Quality
some ppl think that putting up 2 , 3 desks n teaching is tution
n see ppl who has opened plcs like Sakya , Shakthi n Sigma r really flourishing cuz they have discoverd dat Niche in da Industry n keeping up to the Standerd !.............

 

[chathu05]

JOb is certainly without a Risk
Business is 4 ppl hu doesn"t wanna wrk under a BIG BOSS ! n most certainly who loves to handle RISKS !

Mate,

To work >>> There should be a BUSINESS !!!

 

[sudheera]

Yes malli, as you said risk management is one of the key factors too.

 

[x-pert]

Personaly I believe you should do some kinda job initially.

Doing a business is good. But to do that you need many skills. and those skills you can't get from your school or Uni. They just comes to you by experience.

Skills like Management, Finance management, Risk mgt, proper planning and scheduling, thorough 'practical' knowledge and many more. (as many hv said)

So you won't get these skills if you didn't do a job atleast for a year... maybe more than that.

And most of all, you need some capital to invest upon. So either you need a venture capital firm or your personal money to finance you. To get either of those, you need to do a job and earn money.

(I wasn't talking about the few exceptional cases who get a hell lot of money from their parents.)

Niche market is only a single area which you could operate to earn a profit.

Even without a niche, you can earn money if you use a proper strategy. Main 3 theoretical strategies are:

Niche strategy
Low cost
Product differentiation.

So if you gonna start a business without a niche market, then you will need a sell the product to a lower cost or sell a variety of different products.


Low cost strategy means, if you could startup a new Mobile company with very lower sms call rates then there is a big chance for success.

Differentiation means, selling food and drinks at petrol stations as an example. (This is not a common thing in Sri Lanka. But in here all the petrol sheds do have a super market.)

guyz.........job wnt wrkout!! coz we jst do da same life evryday!! nothin intersting!
but business it have a interesting life!! same things dont repeat!!
and think!!
only if we do business!!! we can b a millionre!! not with jobs!!
do Bill Gates doin job, do Ambani doin job........ all the top ten billioners are doin business not JOB!!

hehe Is this post a joke?

Check and see.. your arguements are wrong. Bill Gates and Ambani and all the other businessmen started their career doing a job for someone else.

And do you think that a businessman won't do the samething all over again?

Even the most dynamic occupation, prostitution is the same everyday...

All the businesses are like that. either you buy and sell or you manufacture of sell. (service or product) So it is the same process.

But if you don't have the courage, then you will lose as a businessman. Coz to earn money you need to spend a lot. And if you're not willing to take that risk or if you don't have the ability, then better to stick with the same job.

Well, I do a job not a business. But in Australian $$$. So I can be a millionaire in Sri Lanka if I come after about 10 years

 

[x-pert]

yeah!! evryone did som kinda job ... bt its also belongs to da business... itz a way to find da capital!!
and yeah i knw abt Da ceo... he isnt a famous millionre he is still earning!!
even he earn dat much of money... he must work under a boss...
luk if he gets dat much of money!! wot abt da boss... da business man!!

*Even the employers of Microsoft make softwares and help Microsft to devolop!! no one knows about them... If we say Microsoft Bill Gates will com to our mind!!

A small 2 cent advice bro...

You don't even try to start a business. Surely you'll destroy your whole life. 1st do your exams and then do a degree or something professional. and then think about yourself then and where you see yourself in after 10 years. and then decide..

And bro, Money is not everything you need in life. You need a peace of mind. I value my peace more than any amount of money. So I'm not gonna do any 'business' Atleast for 10 more years...

i cant answer this.. i'm doing business and a job in a same time,, what do you call a profession like law.. sometimes it's clearly a job, have to do some day by day work to keep things running smoothly, but there are times that it gets more to a business, even in the law field we have to face the competition, its against out ethics to do marketing and stuff, but reality is far beyond from it..

Law kiyanne profession ekakne. I mean life a doctor or a software engineer.

So if the Lawyer is self Marketing, then it is a business.

If the lawyer is working in a firm / company under somebody, then it's a job.

Uba lawyer da?
