Work, testing, learning and becoming better at what we do and who we are, is the investment.
You must have known I wasn’t talking about stocks and bonds.
If the investment is the time we spend on the things we care about, then maybe the nonlinear growth of an investment portfolio is actually a good example.
Some days we are up.
Some days we are down.
But long term investment means taking our lumps, staying determined, and moving forward with the plan.
The plan can change (what stocks we invest in) but the approach (investment) stays the same.
The secret to investing is knowing that that’s what we’re doing.
So let’s go ‘head now…
Invest.
