If you managed to earn a large amount of money through an online business, would it be a better choice to invest in your online business or invest it in other investments like bonds and stocks?

Question

Cedric Jamie Soh · Accepted Answer

I am in the same situation as you.

And I choose 1) Invest in your own business

A bit of both is ideal, so I started in a bit of both, but now most of money is back into my business.

I have been doing business, have some successes and wondering whether to keep the income in stocks, or try to duplicate the success in other stocks.

Realised that I can probably **increase my money more if it is in my own business than from buying stocks**, I decided to expand and bought over other online business to run and manage.

_++**What would you choose?**++_

a) Stocks give you returns of 7-10% per year?

b) goods can sell for profit of 30%, if you can recycle your capital at least once a motnh, thats gross return of **30% per MONTH **(net return probably would be smaller since you need to account for labour, rental etc)

Its a lot tougher than buying stocks and not do anything (stocks dividends are the only true form of passive income), but the returns are higher in your own businesses and skills.

If you are confident, go into your own business and skills.

**INVEST IN YOURSELF.**

Too vague of a question dude.

How confident am I in my business? What are my projections like, how are my competitors doing, etc.

I'll still make sure I move faster money to fast money to slow money eventually.

(Business - Stocks - Property/Bonds/Annuities)

But if business is doing well now, and there's lots of market share up fro grabs, I'll invest in my business.

This is entrepreneurial ...

obviously, when already started, investing into the company seem sound ( when you feel there is growth potential).

However, it could also happen that investing into equity could have a higher capital appreciation rate, who knows ...

If you know your market, know your numbers, there should be a sweet spot where you can stay before you hit marginal return on money.

Not all businesses are scalable infinitely without changing strategies, even for online businesses.

The biggest investment would always be on your potential earning power. There’s a saying for entrepreneurs, “I give up working Monday to Friday, 8-5 to work Monday to Sunday, 24/7”

If your online business is stable enough and you have no plans for expansion, you are much better off investing in bonds and stocks as it helps you increase your sources of income. In any unfortunate case, your online business might not do as well as before and shuts down, at least you have your bonds and stocks to provide you with income.

I totally agree with cedric.

Stocks wont make you rich, it will make you RICHER. Owning a businesses will make you rich. Properties will make you rich.

Unless you 100% confirm plus chop hit the spot in stocks that can gain 3X 4X within months , which is almost impossible.
