i say yes..10 years ago i'm working in a big construction firm as a project engineer but i cant buy even motorcycle at one time. when i started my small business after a year i get my brand new motorcycle and now i buy 4wheels. so i can say that making your own business is much better than working in other company.. if you make business just make sure that the business you enter is your expertise. we can discuss what is the right business..

are you trying to say that when you worked for a construction company you couldn't afford a motorbike but now that you are working for yourself you have a lot of money and can buy a new car? I'm sure that it is easy to make a lot of money starting your own business if you know what you are doing but I would assume being a project engineer at a big construction firm that you would be making a lot of money, or at least decent money.

i can afford to buy secondhand motorcycle but not a brand you one.. 2001 when i'm a project engineer of a big company in a big city, lots of expenses in a big city even i have a big salary but still not enough to buy what i want. when i started my own construction firm i made four times of my salary. if we make estimates we have materials, labor, tools/equipments and profit. in materials,the hardware are giving me a big discounts. in Labor, i have my daily payments. in tools/equipments,the owner are paying tools and equipments that i'm using in other projects. in profit, profit is for my small company that i can only withdraw. if i'm working i only have salary the discounts from hardware, the tools and equipments and profit are going to the company. Right now i have only 4 big private company that trust my quality works.
