Our Next Investment Project


Okay. We are not really going to invest in Taco Town, this restaurant doesn't even exist. I had two reasons for posting this. The first is because I was hungry and I enjoy all of the ecclectic flavors shown in the ad. The second is because a big part of entrepreneurship and investing is thinking originally, or "outside the box." I am going to try and relate investing to this ad for Taco Town.

In Taco Town's ad they take a different approach to the conventional fast food market. Instead of focusing on a pizza, or a taco, or a hamburger; they decide to take a huge risk with the release of the pizza crepe taco pancake chili bag. Taco Town creates its own market, automatically drawing in all of the pizzacrepetacopancake lovers. While it may or may not be a success among the fast food industry, Taco Town is a hit in the young, entrepreneurial business world.

In investing, if you invest in the same thing as everyone else, you can't expect a very good return on your investment. You have to think of something different, maybe even unorthodox. Automatically, by investing in something different, you are taking a risk, because you cannot be sure of the results you will receive. If you get a high return on your investment, you have found your niche. I am not suggesting that you go out and make something like the pizza crepe taco pancake chili bag, but that you think before you invest. Remember to be original, take a risk, and find your niche.
