Taking Action

[Account Closed]

I have been investing for over two decades now. Been a wild and fun ride. I have seen people come and go in that time. Some come in with great gusto touting themselves as the next great thing. Others come in, say nothing, suffer from analysis paralysis, but never take that step towards success out of fear.

So today I was sent an image, a meme, that struck a chord with me, and I felt this was the right place to share it with my BP family. I hope it motivates you towards success!

Please feel free to share your thoughts either online

Hey Ryan,

That's intriguing!! This can have a four-fold connotation.

(a) There's that person who came in with gusto - very sharp (having that edge), touting all that he can do; but alas! as the real challenge present itself; the edge is gone. That person either leave the game (in frustration), or join himself with someone (mentor/partner), who is more experienced in the game.

(b) There is that person, who came in sharp, and have maintained that edge by getting the job done, at the same time; paying attention to personal development - by aligning himself with people who can challenge him to aspire for more.

(c) Another person came in (a newbie) lots of enthusiasm, but because of fear; never got off the fence.

(d) The last one came in very sharp - been with all the 'gurus', but when it comes to the application of all those skills learned; realize that he is suffering from 'information paralysis'.

It's important to note that all four (4) came in sharp, however, all but one lost that edge. You stated that you have been in this business for over two (2) decades - Congratulations!! You've maintained your edge.
