An immediate answer is no, because if all are selling who will be the buyer, aside from that if all are going into business, there will be no one to do grunt works (employee, workers).  All must be balanced for the economy to thrive.


I guess the person you know is not serious about his business.


Not all people have a knack for business, some are great at being an employee, while others are good at being an entrepreneur. Each one of us has different strength so it is best to be doing on what we do best.

Your friend lacked stability and control over his business that’s why he kept jumping from one business to another.
Different businesses require different approaches and even the person handling it needs to be very disciplined to follow things through.

Before venturing into any business you need to know your strengths and your weaknesses as a person and how your best attributes may help your business. If a business fails you have to find out why it failed in the first place place before jumping into another one unless you’re ready to be throwing money away.

People Goto school to study how to manage business, people learn it from their daily lives (street smart ). Sometimes the street smarts are even better than the ones who went to school because they have more experience.
Business isn’t just testing and jumping onto the next, it requires consistency, hardwork, dedication, learning and innovation.

I think business is for anyone and everyone, if it's one thing I know that is very sufficient is business, because one way or the other people are going to purchase from you and it doesn't have to a conventional store or common products we know but it can always be rendering of services like maybe do servicing for cars or generators depending on the skill set of the individual, I think that's what your friend was lacking. Buy it all boils down to the decision of the person as some people prefer a pensional job

When you say that investing is not the same as owning a business, what do you mean? Investment is a broad term that can refer to a variety of things, and owning a business is one kind of investment.
When we take ideas to their most basic form, employers are also investors following the same logic because they are investing their time and expertise to complete particular tasks in exchange for compensation. Revenue is the primary distinction.

People just need to choose the right business that fits their personalities and that could easily be operated by them, we all engage in the activities or buying or selling, so we are all business people, and on the other hand what make ops feels that business is not for everyone, just because someone did a business and failed in it doesn't mean that you will fail is that business also, the thing you need to succeed in business is experience which come with time and not forced to happen in the wrong time, business require a lot of patience understanding to keep building no matter the rough edges you may face as a new startup business owner.

Sorry but I gotta disagree with this one.
Starting business is one way to change your life but it is hardly only one. You can still turn your life around through a job, and leveling up your skills, and investing.
And running a business is no guarantee you'll succeed or end up better off . There's plenty of risk involved, too.

Imo , the point is to find the path that fits your own skills and situation. Don't just jump into business because you think that's the only way to change your  life .

Maybe you do not understand what I meant by that.. and I will have to lower it to your understanding.
Must everyone be a business owner?
That is what I am trying to say here for you to get it rightly.
When you know what it takes to be a business owner then you must know that not everyone is capable of handling a business.

Yes, business is for anyone and anyone can do it, it's just that the difference is the scale of the business whether it's a service product or a product, because speaking of revenue in business also depends on execution and the ability to generate different values, some people do not have the ability to generate profitable revenue and develop well therefore they have a more stable salary to ensure their lives, I'm pretty sure everyone can do business if the scale is small.

Before starting a business, a person must acquire specific knowledge about business, as well as be aware of the risks and take management, because there are both profits and losses in doing business, so if you face losses, it is wise not to give up quickly and be more aware of the mistakes and then start a business. No matter where we invest, having the right knowledge is very important to achieve success, as well as consistency, prudent financial management, patience and a long time to take, you cannot get discouraged quickly, it is reasonable to move forward by learning from mistakes.

Yep , that's what I mean. Working for someone else and running your own business both come with their own pros and cons, there is more than one road to financial stability or getting rich. Same goes for people, we have all got our own skills and strengths.

Don't assume running a business is the only way to get rich just because social media is full of success stories. Boxing yourself in like that, you'll end up missing  the opportunities that actually suit you.
