People Are Just Different.

If you're reading this it means you run a business. This is weird behavior. Most people are content working for a boss.

Had a flashback to a time, almost 3 years ago, when some guy asked me: 'I don't get it. You're not making that much money, so why would you run your own business? Why not just go work for a boss?'

This was pretty long ago. I was NOT doing well. To be completely honest with you, I was broke as a joke and that very same question had come to mind for me as well.

Why do I do this? Why not just go work for a boss?

To this day I can't really give you a solid answer. If you have a great answer to the question of: "Why do you want to work for yourself instead of a boss, assuming you'd make similar money?", please reply to this email/DM and tell me. Because I'd love to know.

Best thing I managed to come up with? You and I are just built different.

People that enjoy working for a company and getting a salary are on one side of the fence. You and I are on the other side of the fence. And neither of us wants to switch sides.

It's all good. You have to be a little different to start a business, run a business, go through the entire adventure from start to (eventually) finish.

Running a business ain't easy but somebody's gotta do it. We still do it day in and day out.

So if you've made it this far... I salute you! Keep pushing. Keep going. Keep growing.

Talk soon,

P.S. The guy that asked me the question ended up working for some AI startup company. They went bankrupt last year. I don't know if he was still working there but I must admit I remembered him when it happened. And I thought: "there goes your fabled job security".

Petty? Yes.

But I regret nothing :D
