Entrepreneurs vs Salaried Workers

It is safe to say that most people in the world are salaried employed workers and not entrepreneurs. There is a significant difference in being an entrepreneur and a salaried worker. An entrepreneur is a person who organizes and manages their business, taking lots of risks. A salaried worker is someone working for another person’s business for pay while having a lot of security. While the entrepreneur has more freedom, the salaried employee takes lesser risks.
As an entrepreneur you have plenty of freedom. Entrepreneurs have dreams and not all of them want to make money but some just want to have the freedom to run their business as they like and to help other people. Jacques D’Amboise, who loved to dance and wanted to help to touch other children’s lives with dance, explained in her article, Showing What Is Possible, “Perhaps I could engage young children, especially boys, in the magic of arts – in dance in particular. Not necessarily to prepare them to be professional performers, but to create awareness by giving them a chance to experience the arts. So I started National Dance Institute.” She had the freedom to teach children and touch them with dance in her own way. Entrepreneurs enjoy the freedom of making their own business decisions and becoming their own bosses. In addition, they also gain the stability and control that could never be achieved as a regular employee. Compared to being regular employees, entrepreneurs enjoy much excitement beginning from the planning stage of the business up to development and realization. They are thrill-seekers who obviously love being entrepreneurs as they are exposed to too much risk. Entrepreneurs risk their all when they start a business, not knowing that their business may or may not succeed. My father was an entrepreneur and he explained, “The best thing about being an entrepreneur is being free to do whatever you like.” If it wasn’t for entrepreneurs we wouldn’t have any businesses today.
