By how money works I mean...
Understand where it comes from... where its going... for what reasons... and what part of the process you can fit into
Lets put the whole "starting a business is the best/jobs are always for suckers" lie

You think business owners don't live on other people's schedules
Every employee is not some mailroom serf and every business owner is not Richard Branson
With your business you are allowed to set your own hours and basically create your own politics. There is more freedom in having your own company than working for someone else.

Building your own biz is way different from being a grown man that cant take a long lunch wothout getting shyt
Corporate america is a soul crusher imo
Thats the dream MLM folks love to sell.
In reality, your hours are set by your customers. Your politics are driven by your customers. You work for your customers.
Lets talk a realistic business. You open a bagel shop. You can't open at 12 noon, people want bagels in the morning. Your competitors are getting to work at 4AM to start baking and open their doors at 6-7AM. Maybe if you have a business where you work from home or don't interface at all with clients, but lets be realistic, 99% of businesses don't work that way.
Have you ever worked in corporate America?
I'm going to have to disagree.

Gives someone the right to own your schedule during the work week and sometimes weekends
Makes you complacent... $$ is coming in either way.
I like to kill what I eat and run my schedule
Not necessarily. At my old company a lot of people worked from home, or only worked a certain # of hours per week. When I interviewed with Google, everyone I talked to Skyped in from home. Corporate culture is moving towards a more flexible view of time
You can still get fired for poor performance. See it all the time
Again depending on where you are you can do that within the context of working for a company. Likewise running a business doesn't automatically mean you will have free reign over your schedule

My business is going nuts. I literally have to tell people to wait for me to catch up with my demand. In less than a week I've been able to accomplish so many steps. Right now, I'm just getting everything ready to go to the SBA for my first big loan.
Being your own boss is

If you choose to open a bagel shop that competes with someone else, then yes you'll have to compete with their hours/prices. However if you open your business to be a mid-day bagel shop and focus on the group of people that may want bagels in the middle of the day or in the evening then you focus on that. You create your own customer base and Bagel shop A can still eat off their customers. Again, you can customize your business to fit your needs, if it's something you want to do.
