Results where better investment is channeled
Most of the time, it is not what is done that is bad but rather how it is being done. For instance, you can't compare the results of a small scale poultry farmer with a bigger firm handling hectares of farmland focusing on such business. The thing is, capital will always be needed on the later when an opportunity has been spotted. ‘Finance without knowledge, knowledge without finance; both are leaking roofs’---dani-EL.
You can check back on that wise quote again. I have been there on both occasions; when I had enough capital and lacked how to channel them for a long term results. On the other hand, I can still remember those days when I spotted a life changing opportunity yet I was limited in capital that I had to watch every play out just as I calculated. Maybe this experience is only worth telling and never experienced.
We move, this article will be centering on opportunities and how others have taken a leap of faith to grow a much larger industry in the process. My centering will be on the sport industry (football to be more precise) and the positioning pattern of Warren Buffett which has made him the oracle of Omaha. This man will remain a big encouragement for me in particular.

Moving first into the the footballing world we are seeing Europe having a big hedge here. It was something I was thinking of within the day; is it that European countries have the best of players?. The answer is a big no. We have seen footballing talent emerge from south America.
To be more specific, let's take Brazil for instance. Here is is said that football is more of a way of life. We can't argue this, at least we have seen lots of talent being drawn from this nation.
So why is their league not the TOP flight? As I earlier said, manner of approach. Europe had earlier positioned itself to take full advantage of what was coming. They threw in the huge chunk of money and coordinated themselves. Now, before you are considered a world class player, you must have played in Europe.
Every footballing star longs to join in football over there. You can’t doubt the best of played and presented football is happening over there NOW. This is courtesy of the fact that not that it is mostly their nation built players but talents ALL over the world are running after them.
Investment is and will always be about vision. First you have to look at how this long term effort has played out. The footballing world is a multi-billion dollars revenue generator. Top clubs over there have the best of coaches, salary payments and training facilities. You can imagine that hedge they have.
They have taken the world's attention; something currently very difficult to snatch out of their hands. We have seen some Asian countries like China and the Saudi league trying to replicate by buying big names. Their leagues have improved no doubt but to take attention from Europe will remain very difficult.

The same thing goes with Warren Buffett. I have talked about how this record breaking investor has used both vision and patience to scale. Wherever Warren has put his feet has seen greenlights. It wasn't a one day thing, he threw in the big capital and invested for the long term.
Were there no other investors during his days? Of course there were, it all depends on how an opportunity is seen and also approached. To some it wasn't something to spend so much on, the financial markets has grown big and is even expected to get much bigger.
Another such big names is what Microstrategy did with Bitcoin. Taking so much loan just to make sure they buy a pending opportunity. When talking of one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world, you fail to recognize them.
You know this could have been any other company or even a country here. Consider where the US would have been in terms of BTC if they had made it part of their treasuries a decade ago.
To conclude, business will always continue to favor those who know how to make the most of every pending opportunity. It is about seeing the big picture early enough. While many just overlook it, it can be a good time to set your long term target when the right financial investigation has been done considering the future. Yes, you will need knowledge and to advance to professionalism, capital is inevitable.
