Nowadays many people choose to be self-employed, rather than to work for a company or organisation. Why might this be the case? What could be the disadvantages of being self-employed?

These days, entrepreneurship has become very popular amongst many people. Several persons
now opt
Suggestion
have now opted
for creating and running their own businesses as against working for another entity.
Although
the drive to make more money and maintain one’s ego has been seen to drive
this
move,
this
decision comes with its own drawbacks. One major reason people love to leave their salary jobs to start their
business
is the decision to make more than they earn in their current jobs.
This
is because they believe they are being paid less than
their

they're
worth in their current paid employment and believe that if they start their own ventures, they will earn more remuneration. A case in point is the example of Bill
Gates who

Gates, who
earned a couple of thousands of dollars while working with Apple
corporation but

corporation, but
now earns billions of dollars after founding his own
business
.
This
decision paid off and is the reason many employees plan their exits at work. Another reason for leaving jobs to start own set ups is the fact that no boss can ruin one’s ego.
In other words
, when you run your enterprise, you have no boss to insult or tarnish your image in
presence

the presence
of other workers. People cherish their egos and strive to maintain their pride. So starting your
business
is one sure way to keep it.
However
,
such
decisions
comes
Suggestion
come
with its own drawbacks.
First
, one could go broke. In essence,
such
enthusiasts have not realized that creating a new
business
comes with all sorts of costs
such
as space rentals, taxes, equipment and materials purchases, staff salaries and all these charges are borne by the founder and could get him into money related problems.
For example
, starting a
business
can lead a person to become a borrower quickly because
their
in or at that place
there
are always unplanned expenses and
this
can make an inexperienced founder close shop.
Secondly
, much experience is needed to run an own
business
successfully.
This
is to say that many do not wait at their jobs to study other aspects of
business
and they just decide to start theirs and fail because they lack experience in areas
such
as marketing or leadership in the workplace.
For instance
, a marketer is usually only good at marketing
techniques but
Accept comma addition
techniques, but
not able to lead in a production facility.
This
would cause his venture to cease being a going concern in
the nearest

the near
future. To conclude, founding and running one’s
business
has been trending for some time, and
consequently
, people have genuine created reasons to

find
their own start
ups but

ups, but
however
, challenges like funding problems and lack of experience still stalls
such
moves.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
