I don't think that investing is for lazy people, because building a successful business and investing is two different ways of creating wealth, which both needs patience and discipline. Most people gets the ability and passion to run a business while others prefer working, save and invest their money wisely. And one more thing is that you see those entrepreneurs they also do invest their profits and also alot of investors too do really work hard in their careers before they can get money to invest. So its not a matter of being lazy and hardworking. So for me I will say that real question here is how someone uses the resources,opportunities and skills that gets to build a much better life for the future for itself and others.

[ColdLava40]

I agree to disagree with him. His perspective might not be wrong but in view of context, Investment can mean many things in different areas.

If we are being realistic the Elon musk he mentioned as an example doesn't only have a stream of income from his own establishment. He own shares, in many million dollar companies that might not be widely mentioned just those we know like Tesla are recognized because he initially founded them.

Investment is not for lazy people. We have people who run private equities that they built from scratch and we know it's not an easy job since you have to search for companies that have future potentials so you don't invest money into a crumbling business, you still need to develop patience and control emotions when businesses are not returning profits as expected.

You have to invest because to really branch into entrepreneurship requires capital investments, and sometimes nobody will invest in a business for you, and you can do that for yourself if you've already put together some investments. If you are targeting entrepreneurship without any form of investment, you will struggle a lot, especially as entrepreneurship demands capital to be able to provide professional value that is required in line with your capacity and potential, not less because you lack capital investment.

If you are investing without any form of goal or plan for the profit of your investment, that could be you being lazy because you can be making more with a little more action like Elon Musk.

How can investment be for lazy people considering it demands a lot of educational background, research and knowledge in order to succeed? I guess to not invest is for lazy people, since they don't have the energy to advance on this field. Laziest people are stagnant in life, what isn't the case of those seeking for investment opportunities.

There is a misconception here where to not be lazy means to work hard like a workdonkey for decades. That isn't true at all.

[Youngrebel]

Do you know what it takes to build an investment? It involves putting in a lot of hardwork and efforts, even though it doesn't require doing anything much and perhaps all it takes is working from home or just taking advantage of crypto currency, whatever you think that the means if investment might be you must understand that none of these means of investment is easy. Lazy people cannot invest because they cannot show up everyday repeating the same routine and actually focus on being consistent on doing a particular thing.

Investments is a smart move, but the best way to start an investment is by following the criteria of investments to avoid further issues or future complications. There is nothing like investment is for lazy people, unless the person doesn't know the advantages of investments. Being knowledgeable is part of the things that fuels your investment and it also requires self-improvement, patience, contentment, continuous learning, hard work, commitment, and so on. Whether you are using huge amounts or small amounts the most important thing is consistency.

[Muba20]

Investment can never be a lazy person's job. An investor's work is not finished just by investing money. He has to do market research before investing money. He also has to consider the financial condition of the platform where he is investing and the potential risks. And there is definitely no room for being lazy to perform these tasks. Investing requires sufficient knowledge, discipline and patience, without which the investment will never be right. And in order to have such qualities, the investor must be active enough. Investing is definitely not an easy task. Those who want to set up a business on their own, it is definitely a more profitable task than investing. Here, more time and effort are required than investing. We can never say that investing is a lazy task.

[Frankolala]

From the OP, there's nothing to show that investment is for lazy people. You used Elon Musk as an example but he also has investments here and there so how is he now lazy. I think, you need to prove me wrong that investment is for lazy people with a good example because I disagree with you on this statement. Lazy people wouldn't invest because investment is for smart people who are after building wealth for their future.

[r_victory]

Investing is something smart people do; it means making your money work for you and grow. It represents a source of additional income and a way to plan for the future. This doesn't mean you shouldn't work or start a business; however, it is possible to live off the income generated by investments. Many people survive solely on dividends and interest. In my opinion, this isn't laziness; it is simply reaping the rewards of what you have sown.

[JiiBs]

To me, this is more of a call to attention and a challenge to those who doubt their abilities and capabilities, to start their own businesses with the experience and ideas you have, because even though investment in any kind of asset including Bitcoin is a smart move to build long term wealth, building a business could amplify your wealth and change society in more economic and job opportunitistic ways than mere investment ever could.

‎So I ask,
‎Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?

What would say is that, there are levels to what we can do or heights we can attain in life. This is definitive in how we choose to invest our money. Not everyone is built for managing a business or having to handle a large number of persons and this doesn’t make them exactly lazy, you just aren’t cut out for that kind of work or activity and there isn’t anything wrong in that.

[Fiatless]

I don't agree that investment is for lazy people. Iyinoluwa Aboyeji has the perception that every smart person should be an entrepreneur or business owner. Not everybody has the skills or character to be an entrepreneur. Some very smart investors make more money than business owners. OP gave an example of Elon Musk but failed to understand that Tesla and SpaceX have made people who invested in their stocks rich. To be a successful investor is also hard work because you would always engage in research.

[Faisal2202]

‎So I ask,
‎Do you believe that investment is for lazy people?‎

The idea is crazy, but it is not for lazy people. It can make some people lazy because let's say I was doing a job, and I am still doing it, but I used to be creative and was always energetic to start a side hustle. I even started it and began making money, and I invested a good amount, but with time I calculated the profit I could make with my investment. I realized I was doing more than I should be because I had already accumulated and prepared enough that I did not have to be in the struggling phase anymore.

That's where we are wrong. When we have an opportunity and we think we are already doing more than enough and life is good, we are not supposed to leave the opportunity. Instead, we should take it with dedication and do it like our main job. So it is not for lazy people. It can make people lazy.

[Zaka1221]

I do not agree with this statement that investment is for lazy people we have seen that entrepreneurship is quite tough and it requires a lot of effort and scales to make someone business successful entrepreneurs are spending their  life making effort building their products managing their employees and solving the problems where as investors are spending their time managing risk they are making long term decisions .if it the people like Elone Mussk they become welthy because of their own business but that doesn't mean investment is a lesser path entrepreneurs are creating jobs they are providing products and services and changing the social behaviour in the largest scale then most individual investments. Building business potentially create extra jobs and greater wealth opportunities but it also have higher risk and demand continuous involvement whereas investment people who may not want to run a company but they put their money for the economic growth investment is basically for the people who prefer capital allocation over the business operation so we cannot say that investment is for lazy people.

It seems like you have a really long way to go before you understand what is involved with investing. Quoting Elon musk like a million other fanboys just looks completely clueless - he came from a rich family and had backing to throw money at projects, one of which was PayPal which served a very useful purpose for many users but was ultimately built by someone else. That allowed Elon to earn a lot of money, which he threw at other projects that other people had built like SpaceX and Twitter. He didn't do anything especially creative except for throwing money into new companies. Investment for the average person doesn't correlate to this experience though, as chances are they will operating on a much lower scale like retirement funds or general index funds investing.

[Bright0515]

Making an investment of any kind is not really an easy thing to do, you need to be focused and also have a lot of mental discipline and definitely these are not attributes of a lazy person. Running an investment only works for people that are patient and resilient because it is not something that pays off within a short period of time. A lazy person cannot be consistent and the reason for that is because they don't want to go through stress to get anything done and the Truth about life is that nothing good comes easy.

I I believe that investing and entrepreneurship are just two totally different skills.  Besides, where do you think entrepreneurs get the money to build those massive, job-creating companies in the first place?  Most often from investors allocating capital.

Besides, Elon Musk as an example is completely unrealistic.  He didnt build Tesla and SpaceX out of thin air - he funded them with the wealth he made from PayPal.  He had a financial safety net that "mere mortals" do not have.  Most people do not have millions of dollars to just build a rocket company.

[JoyceBTC]

‎So I ask,

No, I do not believe that investment is for lazy people.

Millions of business owners and the billionaires you see in the world are all good investors they didn't wake up to start up a business here and there without having one or two investment scattered in different things. A lazy man will not make out time to sort for a good investment to put in money talk more of establishing a business they will rather store the money in their bank accounts because they are scared and too busy to take the risk to invest in a genuine business but believe me all the business owners you see today has one investment where they made real money before using their profits to start up a business.

I don’t think investment is for lazy people, I think it is for people who understand delayed gratification. Building a business and investing are two separate and different ways of growing wealth. A business always demands your time everyday and the ability to leave your emotions out of your decisions. Neither is easy.

Someone who buys asset without doing any research is being lazy but someone who spends hours studying a company or bitcoin before investing is not lazy at all. The work just happens before the money is invested rather than after.

In my opinion the smartest proper usually combine both. They earn income through work or business and invest part of the earnings so their money can also work for them over time

[Odusko]

I have a business that I have invested both human and financial capital on for a couple of years now and I can tell you for free that, running your own business is the hardest job I involved in in this past year's, and to tell you my experience, it's demanding so no lazy person can actually own a successful business, to have an investment you must put structure on ground and keep at it for as long as possible to keep your consistency and minimise losses this alone is hard job my friend.
