if you want it ,do it,  i`ll help you Or... I'll help you. I've built up a considerable fund which I plan to invest. It was going to be bricks and mortar but there are plenty of angel investors willing to fund start ups such as this. Bring a decent business plan to them and they'll help you to help them.

Too many people equate success in life to how wealthy they are financially. Big mistake-especially in modern society. Happiness comes from within. It is better to give than to receive innit. I know many people who have won and lost. Survival depends on your personal outlook. For example,how many Jews who survived the concentration camps managed to make lives for themselves because they had the right approach to life? Just imagine being repatriated from Belsen, in 1945. No family; no friends, save a few survivors. How much bitterness did those guys have to overcome to move forward? Imagine having your house taken away from you by bailiffs and having to start from scratch. It must be a nightmare-so every night, I count my blessings, which are many and look forward to the next day of being alive!! so true!

i do agree with you peanut but some poeple start with nothing then become successfull and earn there money well.
Of course they do. Risk is always directly proportionate to reward.For example, Investing in the stock market is riskier than investing in property. Investing in property is riskier than investing in gold. Investing in gold is riskier than investing in bonds. Investing in bonds is riskier than fixed deposits. Those that have come from nothing and made a fortune have taken considerable risks. Sarah needs to take that risk, or take the easy option and work for someone else. There's no risk in that but there's also very little reward. I could go on, but I won't. LOL Please don`t

Too many people equate success in life to how wealthy they are financially. Unfortunately, that is how success is measured. Big mistake-especially in modern society. Happiness comes from within. It is better to give than to receive innit. I agree. Being able to give because you have done well is a fantastic feeling, letting others benefit from your success. I know many people who have won and lost. Me too. They've taken the risk, some win, some lose. Survival depends on your personal outlook. For example,how many Jews who survived the concentration camps managed to make lives for themselves because they had the right approach to life? Just imagine being repatriated from Belsen, in 1945. No family; no friends, save a few survivors. How much bitterness did those guys have to overcome to move forward? I think we're going slightly off topic here, how many concentration camp survivors do we have on Wiki? Imagine having your house taken away from you by bailiffs and having to start from scratch. It must be a nightmare-so every night, I count my blessings, which are many and look forward to the next day of being alive!! These people are either lazy or took the risk vs reward route and failed. But the risk vs. reward people will pick themselves up and give it another crack. The lazy, well, they'll sign on andy give up. LIFE... is what you make of it.

This sort or response shows me why you're not an entrepreneur and will never make anything of yourself. Some people are cut out for life and some just float along, happy with what they have.

One of my mates informed me the other day that his wife had made him a millionaire. He said, before he met her-he was a multi-millionaire!!

lol is that dragon`s den you talking about Call it what you like. I've invested money in a fair few start up businesses. Luckily more have succeeded than failed. That's the risk though isn't it. I could have taken a 9-5 and settled down. I'd still be making above average money, but it wouldn't satisfy me. Different strokes/different folks.

I could go on, but I won't. phew,  Good that some people are fortunate enough to not to have to take a risk. I know people who have access to "bank of mum and dad" and they know they can always fall back on mummy and daddy. I'm going to make sure my kids understand that money has to be earned.

Just because someone isnt an entrepreneur does not mean thay wont make something of themsleves life isnt about sitting in pools of cash from some big career...... i float along with life and am very happy

Yeah, some people are fortunate enough. I know a couple. Poor kids... when I have kids, that I bring into the world, they will have the benefit of a successful father and I will give them everything I possibly can, whilst ensuring they understand the value of money. I appreciate that sometimes a father can't offer all they would have wanted to their children.
