Once, in a university course, a person who had founded, grown, and sold several companies began their presentation with the words “In Finland, there is only one person more hated than a serial killer, and that is a serial entrepreneur.” Next came text about the complications caused by Finnish legislation in the field of entrepreneurship. I felt great sympathy and concluded that salaried employment was my calling.
Still on that path.
P.S. In that course, I began to greatly appreciate those who become entrepreneurs, and I still feel great respect for them. It requires grit, faith, and perseverance. If someone founds a company and gets rich from it, that’s a wonderful thing. Knowing the taxation, an entrepreneur is only the fourth to benefit from the company’s success, after the tax authorities, employees, and insurance salespeople. ![]()
