Just a quick question

[The Straight Story]

A friend on FB recently replied to someone about the economy/jobs/etc and said if people don't like x/y/z start your own company.

If we all started our own company...who would work for you?

1. I'd start a Rent-A-Grandma service and hire a bunch of little old ladies

:hi:

3. But those old ladies would already have their own business

5. As long as they tend to their own business on their own time, it wouldn't be a problem

Shifts: How do they work?

2. some people can't think past the end of their noses.

4. don't you need money to start a company? as if we all have money to start a company.

and if you are trying to start a company for something where there is already a market, it's tough to break into that market. Especially when the entrenched business has the advantage.

6. Yeah, just get a loan from a bank.

:sarcasm:

7. I'm a business.

I work for other businesses.

8. This is a typical argument. I hear it all the time.

And your are right with the question you pose. And I have used that often to poke a hole in this concept. Besides the fact that we are all different personalities, and it takes an outgoing person who is a risk-taker with capital and an idea that will work to start a company.

I don't know why the workers are being so persecuted these days.
