The importance of small business

According to Robert Kiyosaki, there are four types of assets from which we can earn good money and one of them is business, speaking at the business case as developments around products and / or services that are profitable for their owners.

Nobody doubts that a company the size of Microsoft, Oracle or Ambev earn good money, but many still doubt the importance of small business. Briefly: who despises the potential of a business only to consider it as having too small businesses may not have found the right way to profit from it.

Other day I saw a news story on the Internet about a boy who even before completing 10 years was already a millionaire thanks to a deal that created the Internet: the sale of marbles. Stop and think: there already exist many decades the famous marbles? I played marbles in my childhood, my father played with marbles in his childhood as well. I do not know if my grandfather played in its infancy, but there is historical evidence that they have been around since at least 1450 BC! As a boy could then make money from something that theoretically is so "old and cheap"?

Course we do not know all the "secrets" of his business, but we know he excels in selling balls of various sizes, colors and materials. And there are few stores dedicated to a specific sale as well, then that he created a great opportunity!

Every time I see someone wondering if it's good to have a small business, I remember that story of the boy who sells marbles: something simple, old and cheap, but it earned him a fortune. Who can then say they are not worth it?
