One other thing to consider is a persons ability to handle authority. I knew a few people in my life who have a really tough time handling any form of authority, mostly due to their childhood and upbringing where their parents really did not have their best interest at heart and were abusing them etc. I have found these types of individuals to be unable to get any satisfaction at all while working for someone else. To them, having a job is like hell. THe only reason they do it is because they are literally starving.
For people like this, it might be so agonizing to even come to work, that it might be better to quit and do their own thing.
On the converse of that, I have also met alot of people who are great producers when they have a boss, but when they are their own boss they become really lazy and unproductive. Not everyone makes a great boss, especially for themselves. |
