Why Invest in marketplaces ?

1000x in 15 Years with 50% Annual Returns!

Your initial investment does not matter!!!

(the previous line is important for all middle-class children, hence your parents were adamant about your education, they intuitively understood that your education will have a higher than 50% return, in the long run)

If your rate of return is between 50%-100% YOY. 

Just sit tight and don't make any foolish decisions.... let the compounding do its magic with time.

This kind of return can only be expected from a marketplace business, where suppliers and customers interact and derive value just from the interaction itself. If one can create such marketplaces monetary gravitational force will be with them.

If I am correct and I chose to only invest/create marketplaces, then I should be a billionaire because of compounding and monetary gravitational force.

When I began my entrepreneurial journey, I had nothing other than my hard work. 

I had no understanding of the concept of "direction" in a business. 

Had no clue that 12 years later, I would realize that the Direction/type of business chosen would have more consequences on the eventual success of the business rather than hard work.

Hard work is a commodity, everyone does it.

Finding the right direction to put in the hard work is much more difficult to find. 

We should have been taught this in school...fuck it!! .... Now I know.
