In most cases it is true. You have to invest something, in order to earn from your investments. Mostly because nothing in life is free (or almost nothing).
For example, if you want to open an e-shop, first you have to pay someone to set it up for you and add your products. Even if you decide to do this yourself, you will still have expenses such as hosting, domain name, certificate, or even for shipping your products when someone has made a purchase. If you choose to sell your products on Ebay or other similar services, you still have to pay for listing your products there. This is just one example, but the same applies to almost anything.
Even if you are employed in a company, where you are just a worker and do not need to spend any money, there are still hidden expenses such as transport. Or if you go by the saying that time equals money, then you do spend money in order go get your paycheck :)
