How a 9-5 job employee can be a successful Entrepreneur?

Being in job , is all about 9-5 fixed period of time where the employee doesn’t get that latitude to be flexible with time , on contrary,as a business owner ,you work according to your comfort and goals. This is theoretically correct but practically there is more to this.

There are many views and opinions about job or Business, but if I tell you being in a 9-5 job actually equips you with tools to be a better entrepreneur. Though these two career routes are polar opposites, you might think,I am insane if I am saying that.

Let’s understand -

1. Disciplined Schedule 

A fixed time , that is you have to abide by and finish you daily work which definitely means that there is no going away from disciplined time management , if you start a business that does not mean , you can postpone things as per your comfort or situation as consistency is the key. Creating a weekly schedule and also “miscellaneous” time to catch up the pending work ;thanks to deadlines and targets which goes long way from being an employee to an entrepreneur as time is always falls short while working to build a start up.

2.Job gives you a purpose everyday

 Working under someone is like getting guidance and with right perspective ,it won’t take much time to realize that it’s a powerful means to a successful venture.

3. Work Life Balance

 As an employee , you can maintain a better work life balance but as an entrepreneur especially during the initial years , you kind of jeopardize your personal life but 9-5 job teaches you how to take out that family time which can go handy in your voyage to be an Entrepreneur.

4. Team Management

Team Management is a crucial skill, when you work with a team, you learn problem solving skills, people skills, ability to delegate( an important aspect of team building )and decision making and these skills help to build and manage teams effectively.

5. Job Security

 You might agree on this,9-5 job too, is not an insured way to earn money. Any employee is at the hands of their employer at any given time. Your employer owes you nothing — and this can be a scary wake up call. There have been past instances where the employee had to face redundancy with recession, pandemic being few of the many reasons.

But this might not make Entrepreneurship, a good option as there is a lot of uncertainty here too, your plan may or may not work, you might not get investors.You might not get funds to hire a team.

So, here 9-5 job teaches you,tackling uncertainty and risk in life which are major factors in Entrepreneurship.Also, it gives you time to save some funds for your venture.

Taking a plunge from an employee to an entrepreneur may be a leap of faith, but it’s faith in your ability to achieve business success. Believe in your idea, and work consistently.

Happy Entrepreneurship!
