People trying to start businesses think as investors while they don't have much money, they make money the foundation of their business.
I've seen this happen multiple times where people who are in a below-average financial position try to invest and think that this is their ticket to wealth. It can be, if done consistently over the next 50 years, but if you have something else to leverage, maybe this can help.
I, for instance, leverage my time and my ability to learn; when I mastered English speaking, it opened countless doors for better opportunities for me, and now I'm learning German while continuing to sharpen my communication skills in both English and my native language, Arabic.
It starts the moment you realize there are other resources that you might have, which can pay a much higher return on investment like time, energy, attention, and effort.
But, for your other resources to mean anything or have any value, you need to be really good at something, anything, there are endless skills and fields but you have to get to the above-average phase where you can see noticeable appreciation for your resources.
All in all, money is not the only thing to be leveraged, especially if you don't have much of it. Leverage your time, health, effort, attention and mastery!
