What to do with 1 million dollars is a matter that requires thorough and wise thought. First and foremost, it is important to hire a financial advisor before putting the money into any use. When I define my investment goals, whether it is to secure your retirement, secure a home or any other objectives that I may wish to attain, it becomes clearer how to spend such a sum. With such an amount, we should establish our level of risk tolerance in order to determine potentially viable investments.

For secure liquid investments, I would consider putting the money in a money market account where interest is guaranteed after a given time period. This buys me enough time and puts the money at least into some use while I ponder over other more lucrative businesses. If my tolerance to risk is low, I may want to consider purchasing government bonds and treasury bills. The only problem with this option is that they tie up funds since they mature after a long period of time. Blue chip stocks are a more viable option to me in terms of returns, although they are riskier. Any successful entrepreneur must be willing to take risks. Investments in stocks could earn me a fortune. What to do with a million dollars will largely be influenced by my attitude towards risk.

I would advise you not to rush into any venture; a million dollars is a lot of money, and it is certainly worth the trouble of undertaking thorough research and soul searching.
