When getting involved in investing, everyone has to start somewhere.
While a $300 investment might seem like just a drop in the bucket, if you can take that initial investment, see a fast return and reinvest it, you'll be starting a pattern of investment that will lead you to success.
I'm taking about speed of returns, and it's the single most important factor in building wealth.
So what do you do with that $300 you want to invest? I speak to a lot of different people in my travels and recently met a woman with a very interesting story.
She lives in a town with a high tourist population and had been thinking for years of a way to capitalize on this market.
She knew that people on vacation are willing to spend more money on things than they usually would.
She came up with a postcard sending business.
Customers would come to her booth with a list of the names and addresses of people they wanted to send postcards to.
Initially she would hand write a note on each card, post them and send them on their way.
I spoke to her only a few months after she'd started and she already had 4 staff members working for her.
Her only start-up expense was a one month booth rental and 100 post cards.
You might think this sounds like a silly thing for people to pay money for, but more and more people are willing to spend a little to avoid mundane tasks.
This $300 investment has allowed this woman to invest in additional booths in other tourist areas and she's been able to quit her day job.
