Building wealth is not just about saving money, but also trying to increase your income. Besides asking your boss for a raise which might lead to you getting fired, it may be best to start your own business. Starting your own business can be risky but if successful the rewards would be worth it. I recently read a great book written by a co-founder of the Subway restaurant chains. He initially wanted to earn some money to pay his way through college. When a family friend offered him $1000 starting capital to invest in his first shop, Subway was born. With little starting capital he was able to build a sandwich empire. This book is not only about the Subway story but also includes several other entrepreneurs who started with a small idea. It is very inspiring and worth reading.
The book is entitled: Start Small, Finish Big: 15 Key Lessons to Start--and Run--Your Own Successful Business by Fred DeLuca
