By Lil Waldner

People work and save a part of their salaries. They try to make more money out of their savings. Some of them try to achieve more: They want make a fortune and change their life. How can you make a fortune out of your money?

With a New Business Idea

The most promising way is to develop a new business idea. Young scientists or professionals detect a problem. They do a lot of research in order to find a solution. They develop a new product or service. If they are lucky, they meet a demand on the market. They bring their innovation to the market. This is a long way that can last years. Entrepreneurs as innovators need all their savings in order to realize their business idea. They have to spend hundreds of thousands of Dollars from their savings. They even need to acquire more investment funds from other people.

By Funding of a New Business Idea

Not everyone is able to develop something new that is promising for making a fortune. They can finance others, if they feel confident in their marketing strategy and their dedication to work. Some of this people are acquinted with pioneering entrepreneurs. They act as so called “family, friends, fools” network. They invest in the hope to get their money back. They can benefit great, if they are lucky.

As Professional Venture Capitalists

Some people can use their assets in order to work as professional venture capitalists. Some of them have experience in building up of a new business. They act as business angels and provide young entrepreneurs with both: investment capital as well as advice. They usually maintain a good network to universities, research centres and startup contact centres. They try to choose among the best ventures. A lot of skills and the ability to risk own funds are needed to do this job.

By Trading from Home

People with experience in the financial markets can trade on the stock and options markets from home. There are a lot of opportunities and software programs for day trading on stock markets and for investments in futures and options. This is a highly risky business.

For People Who Prefer Resting on a Safe Pillow

Most of the people want to sleep well on a safe pillow. They have family duties and they may not risk their savings. They are well off by investing in their own home

as real estate. They further invest some remaining savings in a basket of bonds and shares of high quality and a small portion in private equity funds. They do not get rich, but they can prepare for their old days or needed extra expenses.

You May Draw a Comparison:

It’s possible to multiply the invested capital ten or hundred times or more as business innovator, business angel or venture capitalist. Otherwise all the funds can be lost in a venture. A professional trader who invests from his computer from home on the financial markets can make or lose a lot of money. This people do this kind of job usually only during a few years, because it is highly hectic. They withdraw from trading because they either have lost all their money or because they are saturated. The cautious investor who prefers a quiet life achieves a yearly performance of 3% to 6% a year for bonds, of 5 % to 10% for shares. If a young person of 25 years reinvests the yearly revenues of a start capital of $10,000, she or he can accumulate a fortune of $43,219 in the age of 55 just with bonds of 5% interest yearly.
