27/m unsure what to do with cash and monthly savings!

Coming from a business owner more or less your age who has not invested a single dollar into the market and is doing six figures a month - why aren't you investing into your business?

People will kill me for saying this, but I think business owners our age shouldn't do more than what your accountant is telling you to (sorry, not american). While your house purchase turned out a good investment, it kind of hurts me to think what could have been achieved had that $ and effort gone into expanding your business.

Focusing on expanding my business, which I had full confidence in, is what allowed me to go from making $50k/yr 5 years ago to 7 figures today. Seems to me you're not that risk-adverse either, so what is holding you back from expanding your business?

I have always had extremely low costs of living and once I hit about 10k/mo I got into a phase of complacency and was a bit lost on what to do. Gained 100 pounds and was watching Korean dramas all day thinking I'm a god for being "succesfull". Once I got a hold of myself and actually applied myself business-wise (maximum effort vs minimum I can get away with) I was rewarded very well for it.

I'm saying this in response to how this conversation goes most of the time when I advise to look for expansion opportunities; "I think this is about as good as it can get".
