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.

In New Zealand there is a survey about the infrastructure world going on. They ask you two questions: One: how important you think that it is to have a pipeline for decision makers? Answer: critical. Two: how good is the actual pipeline. Answer: useless. The reason is simple. The actual pipeline is a wish list. A list of projects that want to be built. That’s great. But where is the tracking about what is in the pipeline and what is actually being delivered? If that’s not there, there is no...

Today I had some conversations about one of the biggest sources of delay, frustration, and conflict in PPPs:The Review Procedures. Agencies still treat them like they’re signing a traditional construction contract. They micromanage the design. They dive into details they don’t own. And worst of all — they brief their consultants poorly (if at all) on what the review is supposed to achieve. The result? Endless comments that add no value. Delays that push the schedule back months. An...

A few birthdays this week. And you know what. People get older. Time passes by… but they do not necessarily grow up. As Robert Kiyosaki once said “Many people run from mom and dad’s shelter to the shelter of a company or the government”. Take government and you can exchange it by “a company”, “a secure job”, “a long term project”… Too many people spend their lives looking for guarantees and spend all their lives avoiding risk, avoiding growing up, and always looking for a surrogate “parent”...
