Investing- Part 2- Planting The Money Tree

 

Investing-   

expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit or material result by putting it into financial schemes, shares, or property, or by using it to develop a commercial venture.

 

One of the most important things that you can do as an investor is to get an early start on investing. The old saying “the early bird gets the worm,” certainly applies to investing in a big way. Investing is defined as making an investment in order to earn a profit and earning that profit will be much easier to do if you get an early start. Investing at a young age isn’t always easy, but the benefits are numerous and can’t be overlooked, but just because you may not have started investing at a young age does not mean you cannot start today. Thankfully there are no age regulations or requirements when it comes to that.

A few of the most essential and beneficial reasons to invest is residual income and compounding returns which are extremely powerful over the long run, and the sooner you get started the greater your chance is to take advantage of this. Put more simply this is the power of the time value of money. Regular investments in an investment portfolio or a retirement account can lead to huge compounding benefits. Additionally, when you begin to invest you are putting yourself ahead in the world of personal finance as a whole. By growing your investments over time, you will be able to afford things that others can’t. Your personal finances are bound to get tight at times throughout your life as most of us well know and investing can help in those tight times.

*Golden Nugget* Investing definitely helps develop positive spending habits. Those who invest early on are much less likely to have issues with overstepping their boundaries in spending over the long run. Investing teaches important lessons and the earlier you are able to learn those lessons the more you can benefit.

The younger generation is a tech-savvy one, so the benefit of that to everyone is that we are able to study, research and apply online investing tools and techniques. Getting started has never been more accessible than now online trading platforms provide countless opportunities for both fundamental and technical analysis, as do chat rooms and financial and educational websites. Technology, including online opportunities, social media, and apps, can all contribute to a new investor’s knowledge base, experience, confidence, and expertise.

If you do not believe investing works for whatever reason or have doubts about getting started maybe you should take a look at this individual. “The Oracle of Omaha”

Before we depart today we want to leave you with a fun tool to play around with to see what it would be like to start making some investments and experience for yourself the power of this skill.  Also, we want to impart you with a few more advantages of taking a step to learn/start investing.

Conclusively, we hope that today you will be able to take something away from the learning of investing, so if you read part 1 and now have part 2 combined you should be well prepared for our next step in this journey which is to Trade …the Application Principle..

As always we thank you for your time with us. Invest in yourself and invest some money into something beneficial just to see what might happen…See you next week.

Invest-The Manifestation Principle

Pt.1-Personal Development Investing

Invest (verb) – To devote (one’s time, effort, or energy) to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result.

To invest in this is to bring reason, manifestation, and purpose to the first pillar of Learning. Development investing is the art of spending time with a newfound knowledge or skill in order to expand your cognitive activity and abilities.

The factual reality of this concept is that we all invest in our development daily in one direction or another. Throughout your day you invest to your betterment or your detriment depending upon the decisions you make. The choice is 100% in your hands. You as an individual may not truly grasp the power of influence that you contain and its origin from your initial investment as you move through the day.

Your life, outcomes, and results are a congruent reflection of how you invest in yourself and the types of environments you allow yourself to be part of. The statement that we hear of “Becoming what we are around” is very true for the majority of us because the human mind is naturally patterned to seek routine and stability as well as conforming to the subconscious influence of societal norms. That means the things our parents tell us “go to school (do good), graduate, get a good job” is the regularly followed path and so we tend to flock around people that are doing the same thing and that is what you invest in.

If parents and influential people had continued to nurture and encourage the same message from childhood into adulthood; that “you can be ANYTHING you want” I believe that the entrepreneurial percentage in many places would be much higher. That is the beauty of coming into a place of understand on your own as young adult.  You are now aware of your comprehension and are able to make your own choices in order to develop yourself into who you want to be.  Re-apply the “you can be ANYTHING you want” concept. If you want to, you can be an investor, powerful trader, lawyer, business owner, engineer, philanthropist etc. You as a young adult are able to make that choice for yourself particularly with the plethora of technology-based resources we have today. There should be no reason for you to accept less than what you know you are capable of.

Put the effort, time and dedication forth into development investing and see  just how truly spectacular your intellect can become. That self-empowerment will translate over into how you take care of things outside of yourself as in your financial investing.

Insider clue: The way you take care of yourself is a precise sign of how you will handle other things.

Go grab a snack, drink or a breather and come back…

Know Yourself, Know Your Worth

 

  • Critical because self-awareness plays into objective view of self
  • Plays into objective view of your personal narrative
  • Know what you want and write it down
  • STICK TO PLAN-
  • Be able to reevaluate your performance

“Know Thyself”. This concise yet impactful quote was written on the walls of the temple of Apollo at Delphi over 2000 years ago. Despite being written before the market as we know it today existed, this simple statement absolutely impacts the investments and applications we commit ourselves to today. What does it truly mean to know yourself? Does it mean to know what your name is or what you look like in the mirror? If we relegate this saying to such shallow terms, we strip it of its intended meaning. Knowing yourself is having the self-awareness to understand your actions and the ability to look at yourself objectively.

(What does looking at yourself “objectively”  mean?) -To truly look at your inner-self and reflect upon your individual strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities within yourself that will extract/demand personal growth over time This is a very simplified definition but it encompasses the overall theme.

“How does my own behavior come into play when I’m investing and the things I invest in?”, you may ask. The answer may be more profound than you originally thought. When we look at spending/investing situations, we apply our own “filter” or personal interpretation to what we see and this can be a poor habit. We have to understand that when it comes to making sound financial decisions, we have to treat it as if it were a living breathing entity.  When dealing with it, we have to listen and watch it, instead of layering our own values and systems to it. For example, think of the trading market as an actual person. Would it not be rude of me to apply my own sense of what’s right and wrong to him without once listening and understanding what he is saying? This is what happens when we try to add our self-indications and assumed values and bend the market to make it conform to our individual assessment/opinion. The forex market (Foreign Exchange currency marking) alone is a $5.3 trillion dollar a day industry. It will not be dictated or control by any one person, regardless of what their name, title, or status is. Trying to control that market or anything else and shape it to your will is a quick way to be washed away and disappointed.

I have just painted a fairly grim picture but all hope is not lost!

In a nutshell, Knowing Yourself goes like this according to our last two posts….

Step 1. Admitting your weakness

Know that you spend money in terrible ways, or that I always say “the love of money is the root of all evil”  realizing that you are not taking care of yourself physically like you should be and that you have made excuses about it.

Step 2. Reminding yourself of your strengths

Truly acknowledge and empower yourself with a precise and calculated change of mindset and put together a plan to correct your downfalls while solidifying your strengths.

Step 3. STICK TO THE PLAN

Do Not Get allow yourself to deviate from self-improvement. Go against your normal and easy path.  Write things down, make a collage, pictures, notes or whatever may be good enough for you to constantly remind yourself of the growth you are committed to making.

We must analyze ourselves in order to decipher out the bad from the good. We must train our subconscious to move our conscious being and be ready to move. The only way to control and tame this beast is to train it to take you where you want to go. This article is definitely deeper in the “finding yourself” element but that is exactly what we want for you because when we speak next week were are really going to begin diving into the financial realm of taking your money to a different place…

As always thank you humbly for reading and take your time, when you could have been doing so many different things and remember…

Learn. Invest. Trade.
