A short YouTube monologue questioning whether business ownership is right for everyone. The speaker (Eric Deeran) argues it probably isn't for everyone, noting the high degree of sacrifice, heavy workload, and responsibility for employees; while autonomy and being your own boss are positives, the downsides and constant obligations make it a difficult choice for many.
Is business for everyone. I'd say probably not. It's a lot of sacrifice. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of things that you have to give up. I don't go on that many vacations, and when I do, I still have to take care of stuff. So I'd say it's not for everybody. I'd say if you want to build something where you're your own boss and where you have your own time, that's great. But the other side of that coin is there's a lot of responsibility, and you're responsible for everybody who works for you. So if something goes wrong, it's always your fault. So you just have to be okay with dealing with that. But I'd say probably not for everybody, because there's pros and cons to everything.
