Don't invest in anything that you don't understand. Do your research first.

Invest in yourself. Your career is the engine of your wealth.

Study the business you think you might like. Satisfy yourself that they will suit your needs. There are so many alternatives available - don't be too quick to choose. Just about any business can fail and any can succeed.

Success on any level begins when you accept responsibility for creating life what you want. You are the only person who can truly make it happen. Not your boss, your business partner, your financial planner, your spouse of life-partner. Just you.

A successful business is a good way to create significant wealth, but not every business will grow into a News Corporation or a McDonalds.

Personally, I tend to worry about what I save, not what I spend.

Learn as much as you can about your proposed business. Ask questions. Join industry associations. Study successful competitors carefully.
