What a crazy few months it has been..
-
I initially had a couple months of content lined up focused on financial education. However, with everything going on, I felt an urge to change up my content and speak up about things I feel are much more important. I want to focus on how we can all come out of this year a better person, a better citizen, and a better leader for those around us.
-
Over the next few weeks, I'll be much more expressive about where I stand on all of this and how it relates to people's finances.
-
Until then, I'm curious... how has 2020 changed how you look at your finances (and life?)? Has it changed your priorities? Your values? Your spending? Your career? Your business? Your contribution?
-
For myself, it has really changed how I want to show up in life. This year has taught me to not let my external circumstances stop me from doing my best. To "go with the flow" and adjust to what life gives me. To stop tolerating and stop compromising what I want in Life. To stop hiding and to speak my mind. That how I make money is more important than how much money I make. OH and to be extra grateful for everything and everyone I have in my Life. ❤️

I would love to hear any of your thoughts in the comments below or a DM 😄
This is for any of you DIY investors!
-
These last couple months have been an interesting time for most investors. And for many people who are planning long-term and investing regularly, it isn't anything to worry about.
-
However, for people trying to take advantage of the "opportunities" in the market, it's important to understand how you make your investment decisions.
-
We all have biases that distort our ability to make sound and rational investment decisions. And if we aren't aware of them, we might end up relying on these to make our decisions for us.
-
To avoid that, you need to be clear with 3 things: what you're saving towards, what your investment principles are, and what are your biases?
-
What are your metrics and drivers to help you decide when to buy, when to sell, which stocks to choose, how long to hold them for, and if what you're choosing is the best option for you?
-
Imperically there is a clear trend in which investment principles "work." However, it's important that whatever plan you choose is one that you could adhere to. So instead of taking what an advisor, a friend, or media "experts" tell you, you need to be clear with yourself first.
-
I always use the example of a boat out in water. If you're not clear with where you're heading and a process on how to handle the waves and the wind, you let the waves of the ocean take you wherever it wants you to.
-
Take the time to know your principles, your biases, your values, and reflect back to your past investing decisions. Chances are that if you've made poor investment decisions, that you weren't clear with any of the 3 above.
-
Or maybe you were clear, but you realized that there was something off in your train of thinking. At least if you knew what they were, you know what variable to adjust to make better and more sensible investment decisions the next time.
-
Hope that makes sense!

Who here has gone online shopping ever since staying at home??? 🙋♂️
-
It's easy to get caught up with buying things you don't need when you're bored and have more free time.
-
And I'm not going to guilt you into not buying things you want. Just take a minute to reflect and see is what you're buying aligned with your values.
-
What helps is knowing what you really want to save for (ex. - a trip around the World, your dream home, money to start your passion project, a cool camper van that you'll take to travel all across North America 😄) and knowing how much in a fixed dollar amount how much it'll cost.
-
From there, it's easier to make a conscious decision when you purchase something, as you have an alternative to compare what that money you're spending could get you (or get you closer to).
-
Try it, I know it'll help!

To be honest, I've had quite a bit of resistance to posting content recently.
-
A part of me felt that putting out more content would be adding to all the "noise" out there. Another part of me was feeling lost and uncertain, which created some doubt in what I was doing.
-
However, I had a few friends who helped me shift my perspective from "adding to the noise" to "helping provide clarity for others."
-
So I decide to put on my work suit (aka a t-shirt and possibly pants) and started to put together some content again. I look forward to sharing it with you all!
-
Also, if you're feeling stressed/uncertain/confused with your finances because of COVID, feel free to reach out. I want to guide you in the right direction so that you can get through this and get back on track. If you have questions, need support or just want to connect, feel free to DM or contact me directly.

If not, take care and stay safe everyone 😄♥️
