I think another key part of successful investing is having absolute confidence that can and will succeed in your financial goals in the end. All too often investors who lack confidence in their financial future also lack the confidence to critically re-evaluate their current ideas and strategies.

The business strategy advocated in Good to Great I think applies to investing as well. Never be afraid to face the harsh realities of the present, while always having faith in your future success.

When it comes to investing, many first time investors want to jump right in with both feet. Unfortunately, very few of those investors are successful. Investing in anything requires some degree of skill. It is important to remember that few investments are a sure thing – there is the risk of losing your money!

Before you jump right in, it is better to not only find out more about investing and how it all works, but also to determine what your goals are. What do you hope to achieve with your investments? Will you be funding a college education? Buying a home? Retiring? Before you invest a single penny, really think about what you hope to achieve with that investment. Knowing what your goal is will help you make smarter investment decisions along the way!

I guess it’s a case of that old cliche – if you fail to plan, you plan to fail – being true.

So few people know how to handle their personal finances, let alone the funds of a business, so it’s a really worthwhile investment of time and money to get some help in this department…

I would say in asset in general, if you can have that money into something that can make it grow even better, but worst come to worst, having more cash is still a good start. .-= Nicolas Prudhon@SEO Help´s last blog ..Article Marketing Redefined =-.

Nicolas, when you say that you had “more money” was it in terms of “net investments” or are you referring to “plain cash holdings”?

The reason I am asking is that I am not an advocate of holding your wealth in cash

Hi Mikael,

You already know I’m all for self-improvement, but beyond knowledge and theory, what truly matters is to take action, because in the end, nothing happen until we take action. (This comes from my old days in network marketing )

The first thing I started to do to build my wealth was to make sure that at the end of each month, I had more money than at the end of the previous month.

How much more is not important, neither how you do it, but it’s a great way to start, most of the people end their month with less money than the previous one, if it’s your case then you know you should do something about it.

Absolutely and they would probably also have become a bit suspicious when it was per invitation only and questions were not allowed/answered.

Good points up there. This reminds me of the whole Bernard Madeoff situation and his investors. Sometimes I think about “if they had done any planning, reading books, seminars” and whatnot they would have known better than to invest all of their money with just one guy….
