Successful Investment Mantra

The mantra to make successful investments is very simple. Know yourself and be true to yourself.

Yes, you read that right, no complicated formulas or confusing jargons. Just plain simple two words “know yourself and true to yourself”

We are all human beings and by and large have the same needs and goals. The time to achieve those goals vary and so does our risk taking capacity. Yet we want to replicate what someone else is doing.

Think about these simple questions –

1. Does the same outfit look good on all

2. Would you wear a small shoes , just because it looks good

3. Would you start smoking , as it’s the new fad or looks cool

4. Would you start eating non veg, because your spouse does

I know, you may feel what all this got to do with investments, but think about it when such simple things would be your own personal decisions basis what you like and what you don’t. How come your investments get influenced by your neighbors, your best friend or for that matter some expert on media

Your investment plan is yours, which is crafted exclusively for you, as per your needs, goals, risk taking capacity and time horizon. Your plan would be effected when you really know yourself well , how much risk you can take, how much can you save to invest, when do you want to accomplish your goal

You would know yourself only if you are true to yourself, which can only happen when you cut the external noise out which has no role to play in planning your investments. The more you spend time knowing yourself, and being true to yourself and your advisor, the more successful your investments would be.

RETURNS are not in your hands, but knowing yourself is. Achieve the most simple, yet complicated step, rest would follow.

Happy Knowing yourself, Truly
