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.

Last week, I got quite sick. Small children. Viruses. Usual suspects. My body wanted bed, and this is what I did… But… I could have been watching Netflix. Or worse… The TV… If I knew how to get the channels. Instead, I completed a couple of courses I had bought and were still pending. Perfect reset. New ideas. One of these courses is by Matt Gray. And I loved what he said about obsession. Anyone that has achieved a decent level of success in life has some sort of obsession. You can think of...

One of the “interesting” things about having sat at all four corners of the table, and having done so in several countries, is that you start comparing. Yes, I know. It’s a Spanish sickness. We like criticising more than we like evading taxes… or voting for politicians who do. I can’t escape my genes, no matter how a Kiwi I've become. You compare. And sooner or later, you reach a painful conclusion. Especially now that I live in the paradise of the South Pacific. Nations led by builders build...

Suggesting beats showing. Always. Just see what happens to women that show too much. They attract the wrong type of men… or probably not. They just attract all men… and then, it’s more complicated to do a good selection. The chances of getting it wrong increase. But if they just suggest, they tend to attract a more sophisticated level of men. Less brutal, savage, and basic. Then, the chances of getting the wrong type of men decrease. And remember, women risked their lives having s€x not long...
