"Dividend Investing or Starting a Business"

My emotions have taken over.

And now I want to clear this up...

- A THREAD -

All I see is the business gurus keep using the argument:

"I can get to 6 figures faster"

I don't doubt it.

But it doesn't mean you should neglect investing altogether.

Put it this way.

If you focus on your business for 5 years.

And let’s say you do build it to 6 figures.

Do you start investing then?

Or do you keep going to 7 figures?

Is that when you start?

What I’m trying to say is this…

Growth can be much faster when starting your own business.

Building a significant stream of income through dividend investing can be a long process.

But it’s not always just about the growth.

There are so many intangibles.

For example.

I started in the market with $500 back when I was 17.

Since then I’ve developed stock market-like instincts.

A quick look at a company and their financials and I can tell you if it’s sustainable or not.

Not only instinct...

But I’ve developed new strategies.

I’ve remodeled mine to fit my goals.

I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t work.

Why start with 6-7 figures in the market and risk losing it because you haven’t learned the ins and outs of the market yet?

If you can’t manage small amounts of money, you won’t be able to manage large amounts.

Instead of picking between dividend investing or starting a business.

Do both.

The knowledge and experience you gain over time is priceless.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Alpha out.
