Just my thoughts #0718

Investing means investing time, not people or assets. The object you invest in doesn’t generate money; time does. Failing to understand the role and principles of time in business and investment is a waste of energy. Because time is invisible, we often overlook it or fail to recognize its impact and role. This world is driven by probability. When dealing with probability, the first thing to consider is the invisible nature of time. Ignoring this fact leads to waste and inefficiency without us even realizing the damage. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Entrepreneurship involves starting to invest in the stocks of my own company. However, unlike open-market stock investments , here you invest in your own business, not someone else’s. My company’s performance directly affects my shares. To excel at investing in your own company’s stock, focusing on one key area can significantly boost your chances of success. Conversely, to be good at investing in others’ stocks , it’s better to understand multiple business sectors rather than just one. Since investing in stocks focuses more on minimizing risk than maximizing returns , diversifying resources across several areas makes risk management more effortless. If you master risk aversion , you can reduce losses and increase your chances of surviving in a volatile market . If you are knowledgeable and well-informed, I recommend investing in others’ stocks rather than pursuing entrepreneurship. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Founders often start a business without understanding their profit model . People are more likely to fail because they only think, “I have to work!” and don’t truly grasp how and why they can make money from it. They don’t understand the concept of capital , meaning the basic funds, nor do they understand the founder’s equity . They have heard the terms often but don’t really know their meaning or importance. They don’t recognize it, although they may have heard of it a lot. You start a business and partner with others without knowing whether your return is the reward for taking risks, giving up current interests, or sacrificing competitors. Understanding this is a fundamental part of entrepreneurship . Yet, in reality, they run their business without considering these issues simply because they need to work and can do so at the moment. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
