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.

Monge Malo, the best seller in Spanish language told this story a few days ago. In 1978, Richard Branson (founder of Virgin), to impress his then-girlfriend, pretended to be buying a deserted island. Yeah… just like that. Some vacuum the car, others pretend to buy an island… The island’s price was $6 million. Richard offered $100,000. Just for the laughs and with the intention to have good company under the sheet. The owner counter-offered at $180,000, and Richard ended up acquiring Necker...

Having conversation with people in their sixties and over gives you a different perspective to what’s the world today. Those people are my parents. Probably your parents too. Those people still shape our minds and thinking. And we perpetuate that mindset, at least, partially, in our children. Our parents lived a very different world. They could expect their companies to take care of them, or the states. Today companies can’t do that. The states are broke. The average life of a company in the...

I read a few days ago that Robert Kiyosaki once said: Professionals have coaches. Amateurs do not. I didn’t know about this, but it cannot be closer to the truth. Successful people look for mentors and coaches. No matter if you are a business owner or someone trying to go up through the corporate ladder. Think of the most successful people you can imagine and they always try to improve themselves with the help of people that were a few steps ahead. If you don’t do it, don’t complain. You’re...
