Business Owner

Duties and Responsibilities: A business owner’s job duties can run the gamut from hiring staff to arranging financing. Specific activities will vary according to the business category, size and industry. Daily job duties might include reviewing sales reports and financials, and comparing them to goals set out in short and long term plans. Owners can then direct activities of sales or production employees to better meet the objectives. In general, business owners are responsible for the growth, stability, direction and daily operation of the business.

Salary: Depends on what type of business.

Education: Although it’s possible to become a business owner without advanced education or training, enrolling in a degree program can provide individuals with the tools for survival and success in a competitive marketplace.

Reflection: I would want to be a business owner because it seems easy but you have to have a lot of patients in your work and on people. Also, I wouldn’t want to be a business owner because I don’t have patients on anybody nor anything and I guess it would take a long time.
