It is easier to triple the value of a $25,000 investment of personal savings into a new business than a $100,000 investment. The more you invest in your business, the more your company’s value has to grow over time in order to achieve a positive return on your invested savings.

Extra tip: Make sure you know how businesses are valued in your industry before investing a penny in your new or existing business endeavor. Otherwise, how will you know if what you are working at each day will actually help you get your savings back plus a sweet profit?
