Are You Better Suited for Working on Job or Side Business?

According to the latest statistics from Forbes magazine, American pop superstar Taylor Swift has a net worth of $1.6 billion, surpassing Rihanna to become the world's richest female singer. Most of Swift's wealth comes from music and performance rather than other business investments. In contrast, part of Rihanna's wealth comes from her beauty and fashion ventures. Should you focus on working hard or developing a side business? Besides stock trading, do you have other side businesses?

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ i prefer to retire than to work. Perhaps letting my money work extra hard for me now! 
I would want to have both but job can be uncertain. Therefore, it would be better to have backup plan so as to ensure survival and not be dependent on one source of income. Of course, I need to balance them to not be overwhelmed and to take care of my own health. I have another source of income is to collect rental from property and dividend from unit trusts or shares.

My skill sets are too niche for my current job that I donā€™t think I can survive by developing a side business. Also, a side business requires a business brain, the time and effort to manage which are beyond meā€¦[Facepalm]

Taylor Swift is the great inspiration to people who want to concentrate on doing just one day job and be successful in it. She writes songs that inspires. Her side business actually is helping people by donating her money (to the tune of $6.5 million so far in just the first nine months of this year 2024). Her ā€œside businessā€ helps build great image of her. Stock investing is my side business. Glad I can invest through Tiger Trading platform. Looking forward to the day that I can earn more through investments and options trading. Thanks @Tiger_comments

When considering whether to pursue a traditional job or a side business, I find myself leaning towards a conventional job due to its stability and the assurance of a fixed income. This structured financial support provides peace of mind and allows me to plan for my future more effectively. However, my choice is also heavily influenced by various life stages. For instance, if I were financially secure or wealthy, my perspective would likely shift dramatically. In such a scenario, I would feel empowered to focus on a passion project or a side business that truly excites me, as financial concerns would be less pressing. The freedom to explore my interests without the constant worry about income would open up a world of possibilities. At this stage in my life, where I am not financially afflue

I currently do not have a side business, and I believe that while having one can be beneficial, starting it can be quite challenging. Many side businesses require initial capital, which may not be feasible for everyone. Furthermore, the complexities involved in running a business are often underestimated. For instance, one must consider several critical factors: determining what products or services to offer, assessing market demand, and developing effective marketing strategies. Additionally, identifying the target audience is essential to ensure that the offerings reach the right customers. Moreover, many side businesses demand a significant investment of time and effort. For busy individuals juggling multiple responsibilities, such as work and family, committing the necessary time to st

stock trading and investing is my side business. we need a day job to earn and save money. only when you have money then can you invest and trade. however, once I'm proficient in investing and trading, this can be my main job eventually when I retire. [Happy]
Based on Forbes research, out of top 100 billionaires, only 1 rely on stock investing to become billionaire, so the chance of becoming billionaire thru share investing is slim.
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ It's beneficial to have multiple streams of income, including active income, business income, and stock investments, and to invest your hard-earned money into various passive income streams. Depending on the stress level of your job, you can choose the best option after a few years, allowing you to enjoy a better life in your 40s with the passive income you've built. FIRE šŸ”„

Better suited for working on job for stable income. Stock trading for passive income.

I'm more suitable for a job rather than a business due to my small appetite for risk. Being in a business looks flashy but some gamble might not pay off and the circumstances seems to be too massive for me to stomach. That being said, I'll still use the income from a corporate job to fund my investments in index fund. I'm not sure about others but that's good enough for me [smile]
