«Let me know” is a rubric for the stories of our readers. Every week we launch a survey on a hot topic and look forward to your comments.

In Russia, only 3% of the population are engagedEvery eighth Russian already has a business plan for starting his own business, a survey showed / Inc. developing your own business. But more than half of our compatriots dream of becoming entrepreneurs, and 12% already have a clear business plan. And although the desire to “stop working for an uncle” is tempting and attractive, many often do not consider that it is associated with great risks: lack of stability, frequent processing, constant stress.
However, employment in a company is also not suitable for everyone: people can feel a strong dependence on the decisions of their superiors, which limits their freedom and mobility. As the American writer Robert Anthony said: “If you don’t have your own purpose in life, then you will work for someone who has one.”

Share your opinion: what do you choose? Perhaps, during your life you managed to try yourself in different guises - both as an entrepreneur and as a simple employee? What conclusions did you draw? What do you think is important to consider when deciding to change your status?
