Those who invest small amounts of money correctly are proven to live better lives in the long run. The recent crash of the giant, "too big to fail", companies, made the small to medium businesses backbone of the all economies.
Startups Can't Be Startups Forever
There are some startups whose owners only managed to initially, invest small amounts of money. But now these startups are multi-million, if not multi-billion, businesses.
Take a look at John Paul DeJoria, currently the 261st richest person in the world, at the start only could only manage to invest small amounts of money, which is $700. Fast forward to the present, and he is now worth $2.5 billion (yes, that makes him richer than Oprah). Paul DeJoria did not have any high end affiliations, no clans, no rich-only private school education and no huge capital. He only had himself and his urge to invest small amounts of money.
Don't Just Dream About It, Give It A GO!
If you find yourself recently obsessively wondering, about how it would be like to invest small amounts of money into your own business, or a friend's or acquaintance's startup, then why don't you go ahead and take the plunge?
Most of the times, people waste their lives thinking about the possibilities, then later on giving up because "it seems too hard" or "it's impossible to achieve that goal". Instead of seizing the idea (that could potentially make them rich), they choose to trod around in their offices. Later on they get a heart attack because someone else came up with their idea, and made millions out of it.
Imagine how the ex-classmates of Larry Page and Sergey Brin feel now that these two own the largest Internet company in the world, Google? A lot of people passed up the chance to invest and join Google, because it was just a startup and besides, everyone thought all the money that could be made in the Internet was already taken.
No, Startups WON'T Break The Bank
Andrew Tan, one of the richest people in Asia, was a factory worker's son. He started his ventures with appliance reselling, opting to invest small amounts of money, because he could not afford lavish investments like real estate. Later on, he went to develop his own products by small batches, and is now worth $700 mil.
Lakshmi Mittal, started his entrepreneurial career under the wings of his father, and their medium sized business. He started to invest small amounts of money into their family company, and eventually became the the 8th richest person in the world through his hard work.
Don't be intimidated to invest small amounts of money, no matter how scary the financial world is right now. Just make sure that you make wise investments, not blind guesses. Do your research before signing up into any deal. Who knows, we might be making a good example out of you the next time.
