Today’s PSHE Lesson
Entrepreneurship/Enterprise And Business (Positives And Negatives Of Being Your Own Boss)
Having an ambition or dream to own your own company and to be your own boss is what many of us aspire to do in life. Some of us take the risk and make a success of our own businesses whilst others unfortunately fall by the wayside for a variety of reasons, like decreasing market demands and money problems. Being your own boss may seem ideal and there are lots of positives to owning your own company but there are also down sides that need to be considered too.
