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: ​
​ And that’s about money. ​ But what about personal investments in personal growth? ​ The reasons are also 3: ​
​ In both cases, they rely on free content in social media, their cousins or brothers-in-law. ​ The result is that:
​ 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.
