Whenever multibillionaire Warren Buffet was asked about his secret to investing money wisely and turning a profit, his answer has always been the same-invest in something that you know and have a passion for. Investing in an idea that may sound interesting or even profitable even though you have no real knowledge or passion for the particular industry, according to Buffet,will often leave you in the red.

Music Mogul Jay-Z also shared these same sentiments, noting that his understanding and love for music, fashion and sports has always been a constant in his life so his investments in those areas came naturally to him. The overriding theme of these two examples is that both men invested their money, time and energy into their areas of strength. Making an investment is a crucial part of developing your strengths. Investments of time, money, and energy will enable the growth necessary to breed successful outcomes.
