Why it is better to work on our own venture rather than working for some company ?

Today, I was thinking of a probable change that may happen in my life (after few years) incase if I quit my day job to work on my own venture. I know there can be lot but, I was thinking about the one related to money. After thinking for few hours, two points flashed in my mind & here they are..

• We can Earn Money, If we work for some company. We get money on only one day of the month & we spend rest of the days in utilizing that money to fulfil our needs. Most of the time, we hardly think of or get time to make some extra money. 
• We can Make Money, If we work on our own venture. We spend all the days of the month in thinking how to make money & we will act towards it.

As the above points are self explanatory I don’t think there is a need to elaborate. I don’t know whether it will be applicable for every venture or not. So, I would highly appreciate more of your thoughts on this.
