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.

These days, I usually panic a little. Just a little. Not because of the “social commitments.” And not because of the alcohol… which, let’s be honest, doesn’t do your health any good whether it’s “only one,” “only two,” December or June. No. It’s something worse. Much worse than overeating and overdrinking. Queueing. For me, queueing is more terrifying than being forced to watch an entire season of Big Brother. Nothing good ever comes out of standing in line. Nothing. Maybe disappointment…...

A nice thing of brining my son to daycare and this being in the same building than the main NZ infrastructure agencies is that you meet lots of people. From the doors to the elevator, people having coffee, hanging out in the sofas, etc. Suddenly a “hey, Vicente”, and then… Some free consultation. Well… not as free, as the coffee is excellent, I always order one. “On me”. The usual suspects are: How can ensure competitive tension? How can I deal with claims? How can I prevent claims? How many...

I’ve been closing some insurance policies these days. For myself. Health, life, mortgage, etc. You don’t appreciate enough a good broker until you get one. If you’re serious about investing, this is your second more important broker after your mortgage broker. But I don’t want to talk to you about personal insurance. But PPP insurance. It’s probably one of those fields, most people mess up. Clients. Banks. SPVs… All parties alike. You have insurance to cover accidents on site causing...
