Reasons Why People (Even Smart People) Don’t Invest


After talking to many people, professionals, businesspeople alike, I arrived at the conclusion that people who don’t invest usually hold back for one of these three reasons:

​

  1. They don’t have money to invest.
  2. They have no idea how to invest.
  3. They’re afraid to invest.

​

And that’s about money.

​

But what about personal investments in personal growth?

​

The reasons are also 3:

​

  1. They don’t have money to invest.
  2. They have no idea how to invest.
  3. They’re afraid to invest.

​

In both cases, they rely on free content in social media, their cousins or brothers-in-law.

​

The result is that:

  1. They save some money that is wasted somewhere else
  2. They have less idea how to invest
  3. They are even more afraid to invest

​

Good mentors save you years… but free content with no effort and not engagement is so easy to consume.

​

I like things that are simple, straightforward.

​

So, my investment system is characterized by being simple and straightforward.

In both, money and personal growth… that at some point become the same.

​

Don’t expect a sector diagram with lots of colours and 25 stocks in my portfolio.

Don’t expect a collage of 25 books about personal growth, negotiation, career advancement, mindset…

​

I’m very simple.

And I think that simple is better.

My wife has sentenced. My little son and I are condemned to not wearing anything white clothes in the next 10 to 15 years. No matter what you do, no matter how much precaution you have, it all ends the same. Wine, oil, or tomato come to the party. And that polo or shirt ended like a Kleenex. One use only. No matter what you do, it’s time you look for a second use or prepare to send it to a charity. One use only, as I said. Like great RFPs. Millions spent. Dozens of consultants mobilized....

Just in a rush as I’m taking a plane. You’ve been reading my emails for weeks. Learning, nodding, agreeing… But nothing changes just by knowing. You can blame the market. You can blame your company. You can blame your boss or the government or the crisis. Or you can accept a fact: Winners move when others freeze. You want better projects? Better money? Recognition? A pat in the back? Then you must become the person who gets those things. You know what I’m offering. Not soft coaching, but...

A client of mine was angry. Very angry. An obstinate and incompetent operator. A client that did not understand what a PPP was or how risks work. Claims. Lots of letters. Even more frustration. It’s hard to work in that environment. But it’s almost the day to day of many projects. People not understanding each other. Not because some are incompetent and have nothing to do but heating and protecting their chairs… that happens sometimes… but because nobody is trying to understand the other...
