I need to make money.
But I no longer have the energy to survive in an intense corporate job.
I’m interested in how people make a living in the stock market. It seems like it’s not the same thing as gambling.
I heard mutual funds are a pretty safe investment.
I’m intrigued and inspired by the founder of Spanx, Sara Blakey:
Billionaire Sara Blakely says she launched Spanx with just $5,000 from selling fax machines—and never took on a single investor: 'I bet on myself' Imagine knocking on doors to sell fax machines—then, years later, becoming a billionaire.
Sara Blakely is an American entrepreneur, best known as the founder of the apparel company Spanx. She is also a minority owner of the Atlanta Hawks basketball team and a philanthropist, establishing the Sara Blakely Foundation to support women. Her business success began after she created her first product by cutting the feet off a pair of pantyhose to wear under white pants, using $5,000 of her savings to launch the company in 2000.
Sara Blakely sold a majority stake in Spanx for a company valuation of $1.2 billion in October 2021, not a full sale of the company. She retained a significant equity stake and remained as the Executive Chairwoman of the company.
I’d like to try something like this.
