Startup Spark:
Do any of you think being an entrepreneur is more secure than working for a big company?
It is.
Priscilla Ortiz was listening to some transcripts of The Entrepreneur’s Success Codes, a Trump University course taught by Jeff Burrows. In the transcripts, the entrepreneurs taking the class give some reasons for why they decided to become entrepreneurs.
One of those was security.
Motivation #5: Security. One entrepreneur said he started his own company because he hated working for companies where he could get laid off at any time. Of course, starting a company is risky. New companies fail. But despite those risks, running his own company put him in control of his own destiny.’
I’m in total agreement with this entrepreneur and the idea that you’re more secure running your own business. Working for a big company with the constant threat of losing your job is not a position I want to find myself in. Granted, there are plenty of organizations where the threat or fear of losing your job doesn’t exist, but I’d say security in big companies is a quite often a myth.
