A young man being interviewed for a job as a service technician was asked why he wanted to work for the company. He answered, "I thought about going into business but don't like being owed or borrowing money. I'd have to advertise and put money back into the company. I'll get my share of the profit every week if I work for you. Besides, it's like all those people in the office work for me, and I won't have to worry about them like I would if I was their employer."
This young man summed up in a few words what business schools take semesters to teach. He knew he didn't like to take monetary risks. Being in business isn't for everyone, and it's a good thing, too. If everyone wanted to be in business, there wouldn't be any employees.
