It isn't a weird question, it is just a common question. Sure, people have varied ways to get money, so it isn't a must to involve in business. Only people who assume they have the skills in managing and developing business, they deserve to venture to business. Meanwhile people who assume they have lack of the skills, it is better to find out another way to get their income.

Besides the mentality reason, he may still not get the suitable business for him. It is important to analyze first which business that may be suitable for us before we start the business. So, we won't easily give up because we are happy with the business. Also, we must be ready with our mentality once we start a business because they must be too many challenges. Especially if we build the business from the scratch.

Just give a proper advice to him if he is really your close person!
He needs advice and the support from the people closest to him. But he must realize that he must learn from the mistake he ever did. So, he also needs to evaluate his approach in building businesses previously.

There are people who easily give up the moment they failed ones, sometimes if we don't failed we can not take correction and we won't also learn and gain more experience. At the start of every business it's always difficult to coup up because it's an early stage. Many people who made it today has tried and failed several times but they never gave up rather it makes them more stronger, it is through failure we can be able to find out our mistakes, when ever we fall we should rise because when the going gets tough the tough gets going.

Yep, let's both agree to that.
With the current status of global economy lately, one source isn't enough to stay afloat.
So, as much as we can have other sources of income and invest it to appreciate its value, the better.

That's true.
Putting ourselves in one place might be good as comfort zone.
But if we want to grow, there's always the other path for it but it won't be easy as we think.
Yet, do what works mostly for us since we've got preferences and differences.

Love what your mom told you, and you are not wrong.

But come on , that's easier said than done . Especially  when you've put your heart, all your money into a business and only to watch it fail.

Not everyone has the resources to pick themselves backup and start over. Failure can teach you a lot. But  that doesn't mean persistence  guarantees success.

Im  not saying quit second  thing go south but sometime knowing when to stop matters just as much as pushing on, imo.

The truth is that every business requires some level of zealousness before you can scale through, and understanding the type of business you want to do is also very important for you to be able to be successful. People jump from one business to another because they have not really figured out the type of business they can do to become successful, they look at what other people are doing, and pick interest not considering what is involved in that business. If you want to be successful in a business, you have to know the things you can do, and the ones you cannot do. For instance, there are some business that will require movement from one point to another while some requires you to station at one place, consider the one that suits you most before going into it.
