Don’t let this happen to you (or your family).

“Anthony NO! Please don’t do this.”
But I was in too deep. I couldn’t let go now. And I was going to prove everyone wrong.
I was going to show them I don’t need mentorship. And that I CAN be a successful investor and entrepreneur.
Hi ,
When I was getting started in business, I jumped straight into the riskiest investment you can think of.
You see, in my early teens, I met this friend on social media...
(Yeah, that’s right - it’s one of these stories.)
And after we talked a little bit here and there, he said to me:
“Hey Anthony, wanna start a business? you can sign up, all you need is some start-up capital - you in?”
“Yeah sure, let’s do it!”
But I couldn’t have been more stupid...
I managed to find a couple of thousand bucks to start funding this project.
But after a few weeks went by, I got this:
“Anthony, we’ve got a problem, we don’t have any more capital to make this work. We need more money...”
To make things worse, I would justify what I was doing...
“I am an investor - business is all about risks...”
And then it happened.
I asked him for the status, and looking at me, he said:
“This’ll work. I should be patient.”
*His Door Closes Shut*
And that was the end of the conversation...
That night, I felt sick in my gut.
This wasn’t how I was supposed to feel before making it big.
It was supposed to be exciting.
“I had done something no one else was prepared to do.”
“This is the price of success, right?”
But when I went to find out the status in the morning. He had already gone...
Vanished.
Disappeared.
...
I was so angry.
I had been scammed.
I had shamed everyone.
All because of my greed and my desperation...
And it took me years to recover from that stupid “investment”.
I thought I was being smart, I thought I was being clever and determined.
But I was just being an arrogant idiot.
You may say I was naive, or that I didn’t have a High-Income Skill.
Or even that I shouldn’t be using other people’s money...
But here’s the biggest lesson I learned from that.
Never Invest In What You Don’t Understand
I can tell you right now, almost every investment I made that I didn’t understand - failed terribly.
And that’s why my number one rule for investing is only invest in what you do understand.
Because when you don’t understand what you’re doing, you might as well be gambling.
You might as well throw your money away like I did when I was in my late teens...
Now if you’re new to investing and you have a bit of savings put aside to invest, the best thing you could do is invest that into yourself.
That’s right. Invest it in yourself.
When I look back on all the investments I’ve made over the years, the ones that made the biggest difference were not the real estate properties or businesses I invested in...
No. The investments that made all the difference were the events I went to.
The books I read.
And all the courses I spent hours on every single night.
So why not do the same yourself?
Buy some books on investing. Go attend some special events. And take some courses on investing.
You’ve got nothing to lose, but everything to gain.
And you’ll always look back on these investments as some of the best you’ve ever made.
