Everything in life requires readiness or preparation, for example if someone what to start up a business, of course the person will have to get a job to save up for that business, like some persons will say, "I do not want to work under anyone" and I usually ask them how do you tend to grow then, because you need work under someone for a start before you get there.
One can not save for investment without any means of income, so to invest and in order to grow we will need to work really hard to relieve our self, and be the boss we long for.
