1. Invest the $15,000 into a smaller business hoping that the returns will yield the remaining $15,000 in a short period. Note that this has the potential of failing and wasting the already-saved $15,000.
2. Keep the $15,000 while doing other work that will yield the remaining money over a long period.
Would love to see your input or a better suggestion apart from the ones I pointed out above.
N/B
This is the typical situation a friend finds himself and we are just brainstorming in what best to do.
I'll keep the $15k and work to make up the $5k. There is no need to rush. It is a business just like a child I must take my time.with it to see it grow slowly and steadily. After I have gotten the 5k , I won't even quit my regular job. I'll Only do do when the balance sheet is looking good.
