[QUOTE="Heshan Daminda, post: 25957645, member: 181982"] I have a friend of mine who invested his life savings and opened up a small pub. He quit his job to run the business. He hired two people to be behind the bar. He felt like he was fulfilling his dream. He was a business owner. Life was good. Then one guy quit and all of a sudden he was in his pub for long hours. Way longer hours than at his previous job. Then he went home all stressed and tired and he had to sit with the paperwork of his business. Accounting, payroll, taxes, marketing, social media, dealing with suppliers, etc. In a few months’ time he was exhausted. He did find another guy but in the meantime he had to let the first guy go because he stole, he didn’t ring up all the drinks. There was always some shit going on. Something always went wrong. He started to have problems with his girlfriend and eventually they broke up. Owning a business is not easy. Especially at the very beginning, when you are in the jungle stage. You need to cut through this seemingly neverending jungle that has all kinds of scary shit behind every bush. And all is there to eat you. Many businesses fail. My friend’s business did too. In his case, he sold the business for pennies and went back to work. Now he is an office manager at a multinational company in Hungary. Sure, he has stress. But he leaves that stress at the office at 5:30pm. Then he goes to the pub, that he used to own, orders a drink, looks around and with a big smile on his face he tells the bartender/owner that “[SIZE=6][B][I]Finally, life is good.[/I][/B][/SIZE]” [URL='https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-most-people-start-businesses/answer/Peter-T-Mayer']Original post[/URL] [/QUOTE]
