This concept of "being your own boss" is undoubtedly an alluring one. Nonetheless, not everyone can be a boss - not one decent or effective, at least. If you are actually an employee of someone (not a boss), it is perfectly natural to fantasize about owning a business of your own on those days when you are fed up with your current boss or work. The rags-to-rich stories you hear about entrepreneurs who have turned their visions into millions or even billions of dollars, make your fantasy even more attractive.
