M&I was right: investment bankers do secretly want their own company

It is getting really obvious now! The longer I know people, the more I realise their true intentions; they want to secretly build their own business empire with their 50k in savings lol

Are you one of those guys?

My (ex) boss worked basically until he had enough money to start his own business (startup) as well.

What type of firm did he start?

e-commerce startup

 

Yes, everyone wants to be in control of their own future, and the way to do that is to be your own boss. You can definitely do it with 50k. Hell, you could do it with 5k, if you subscribe to Tim Ferriss' ideas.
