Which profits fast, business or investment?

[Starmix]

There is no easy answer to this question; many argue on this, especially veteran investors and entrepreneurs on this forum site. It depends on many factors, and frankly, risk is always involved in both.

In business, it takes time, effort, and often a significant upfront investment. You need to factor in marketing, hiring, and potentially unexpected expenses. While some businesses take off quickly, many others take months or even years to become profitable. The speed of profit depends heavily on the type of business, the market, your business acumen, and a healthy dose of luck.

In investment, it can offer faster returns than building a business sometimes. Terms like short-term trades in the stock market or certain types of cryptocurrency can yield quick profits or losses. But these are also very risky. There is no guarantee of fast profits, and you could easily lose your initial investment. Other investments, such as real estate or long-term bonds, may offer slower but steadier returns over time. The speed of profit depends entirely on the type of investment, market conditions, and your investment strategy.

The bottom line, both business and investment have the potential for quick profits, but they also carry substantial risk. Neither one guarantees quick riches. The speed of profit hinges on various factors, including market trends, your skills, knowledge, and a bit of luck. Which path might be faster for you would depend heavily on your skills, risk tolerance, and financial situation.

It depends on where you have invested and how your business is doing. Investment requires no work but for business you have to work really hard.

Business has the potential to profit faster than investment most times but it can ultimately depends on most other factors.

In investment, it can offer faster returns than building a business sometimes. In business, it takes time, effort, and often a significant upfront investment. You need to factor in marketing, hiring, and potentially unexpected expenses. You feel relaxed, doing an investment, in business, you have to get busy with many things, like planning.

There is no definite answer, investment is a long-term strategy and as passive income while business is short-term, and is active income, both have pros and cons, also depending on the type of investment you choose and the business you run.

Indeed , it all depends on the individual on what to choose as soon as he knows the pros and cons between business and investment.

I think in general, if you opt for short-term or mid-term investment, you can make profit faster than running a business. But both involves risks.

 

[Starmix]

It all depends on a circumstance. Not all are capable to face risks, and not all have passion in investment, Most people prefer to do business than invest. They want instant profit. Though there's a short term investment, but not all are skilled on this.

I don't think there is a definite answer for this though, there are times where your business can generate profit for you faster than your investment, or vise versa.

A business is more likely to yield faster profits than a traditional investment. Investment takes time to mature

In my experience, I profit faster in my offline business than in my online business. For a month nw, I do not have a customer in my online business, unlike my offline business, every day, there is profit.

Successful businesses can generate substantial profits, especially in high-demand sectors.

Both business and investment are all good but you need to consider investing in the right plartform some investment don't yeild better return,for the beginner I will suggest you go into business

As far as my experience is concerned, I earn faster in my offline business than in my investment. Unless I am skilled in trading , there is assurance that I can earn more each day,
