In today's economy, if you want to get richer which one would you want more? Money to kickstart your idea or career... or just creativity and resourcefulness?
Both are good and countless people have been successful through them. It's just about your choice and options given at the time. However, you should not collect money when you are not the business person or not investor-inclined. The same thing goes for resourcefulness and creativity, you must be certain that you are good at what you are naturally blessed with or the skill you have learned. Otherwise, you might regret the choice.
