On getting a job or just doing your own thing

There is no relation between this pic and this post.

Most people tend to tell me I'm in good future whenever they find out I have no job but is already managing my own businesses. At first, I felt good about it. I feel proud. Just around two years after graduating from a university, I slowly got interested in studying more of business while working on my first job. I went under the  more usual phase: started off reading Kiyosaki books, playing Cashflow, joining an MLM organization, among others. Then things started to get serious; sleepless nights filling up calendars as I plan things I would like to do. Luckily, I found friends who also would love to try bigger things in the world of business with me. Although I was sent by my company to other countries to work at that time, the sense of doing business was already imbued within me. It was part-time work, part-time nurturing ideas during my whole stay abroad. After almost four years in my first job, I gracefully exited from it, and proceeded to work on the ideas intensely brewing in my head. And now, here I am, being my own boss and pulling off my hair on every decision-making episode. People will try to tell me that they want to start their business too, but they don't have any idea yet. But is doing business really for everyone? Is it really the achievement everyone should be rooting for?

Of course, the answer will be "maybe."
