ARE YOU STILL AN AMATEUR INVESTOR? DON'T WORRY, THIS EXEMPLIFIED READ WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR INVESTMENTS WISELY

Never too young to invest!

Starting early is a major advantage in the world of investment. This is because you have time as your biggest asset. Any one with spare cash can invest. You don't need to be a professional before you consider investing. Being young gives you the advantage of exploring all your options and the ability to make up for your loses before you need them back. Although investing in general is a trend, the fear of losing attached to it, scares young entrepreneurs away. There are few things you should know while launching into any investment platform, be it stocks, bonds, or startup businesses.

Investment is dynamic

Investment is dynamic that is, the trends keep changing. You should not assume anything  as far as an investment (stocks, bonds, startups) is concerned. Some professionals in the field give predictions as to what will be the resulting repercussion in future, based on the present and previous market standings. Yeah! some of these prediction come true but that's what it is..... predictions. As young investors, jumping into predictions without proper survey won't help out.

Avoid predictions and survey the market...Investment is dynamic.

Like i mentioned earlier,  you must not be a professional to start investing. After all Time wasted can not be regained. Time being your greatest asset, must be properly utilized but not with all that fear and anxiety.

Young investors, Time is your greatest asset...utilize it.

Don't know what to invest in? ...here are the steps to take

1. Seek Financial Counsel.
Never assume you know it all for there is always more to learn. It is advisable to hire or consult financial experts on areas of ambiguity as related to your area of specification. Always seek counsel from other investors in your field for successful investors are known to constantly seek knowledge.

Investors, seek knowledge from cradle to the grave
for knowledge empowers you

2. Discover your Niche.

In investment, a niche is a properly defined and well-segmented area of concentration. An average businessman would want to take up the needs of all the consumers in the market as long as they are ready to pay. An entrepreneur without a niche is like a small fish in a big pond, but discovering your niche and focusing there makes you a big fish in a small pond that can't do without you.
Do you want to start investing? Simple....discover a niche which you can operate comfortably and establish yourself. Don't mimic anyone. Conclusively, you don't want to be a jack of all trade and master of none, it always fails in the long run.

3. Overcome Your Fears.

One thing is discovering your niche or area of concentration, another is overcoming the fear to lose. I have met talented young men and women who are willing to launch into the world of investment. But the fear of losing overrides their willingness to follow suit their dreams. Many folks out there have the best business ideas but are unable to make something useful out of them as a result of some ill-fated insecurities. You need to break out from your cocoon of fear and see a whole new world of possibilities around you.

Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning
Robert Kiyosaki

Do you have a good business idea! give it a try and don't allow the fear of losing to weigh you down.

Have you decided to overcome your fears? one more thing

4. Take The Bold Step But With One Foot.

You don't want to rush into something you are still experimenting. Take it gently, a step after the other until you fully understand your niche, analyze your strengths and weaknesses and improve where need be. Never invest money you can't afford to lose or money you will need soon. Always invest with your spare cash. putting all your financial eggs in one basket is a recipe for disaster.

Never test the depth of a river with both feet
Warren Buffet

5. Learn The Market.

Always seek for more knowledge about your niche to discover the trends and move with it. There are many types of equipment for research at our disposal today, you can utilize them to keep yourself updated with the recent changes and upgrades in your niche. you can also meet investors in your niche and share ideas. Learning the market isn't a one day exercise, it is something you do every day. For instance in stocks, investors are always researching, predicting and seeking knowledge of how the next turnout will look like. This is because the stock market is very dynamic and unpredictable. The same applies to investment as a whole. For you to achieve the long-lasting success you must learn to adjust to the trends.

The market is unpredictable and dynamic

6. Value Your Audience.

This is one of the most overlooked aspects of marketing. Young and practicing investors sometimes forget the power of the customers. Your audience are the customers under your niche. Want to make it big? here is the free and simple secret. Value your customers. Treat them as your most valued assets and they will keep coming back.

WORKING FOR MONEY NOT AN OPTION IF YOU WANT TO BECOME RICH

I was reading an article and I came across this “working for money is not an option if you want to become rich”. Well, I kept wondering what the writer was trying to say. I mean should everyone stop working and focus on being and employer…should every start creating their own businesses? Well maybe be. But the fact is that working for money is not totally bad as some investors may deem it. It depends on your concept or reality as to why you are actually working.

A majority of young people still believe in the cardinal rule of going to school and getting a good grade after which they get a great job and start working. This class of people end up working and working so hard just to meet up with their bills. The truth is if you really want to make it young and retire on time you need to start reviewing the reason why you are working. Do you have the right mindset and reality when it comes to your job? Or do you just work, earn, spend and work again and again.


WORKING FOR MONEY
Literally, working to get paid is not bad, as in some point in life one might need to work to raise a few dollars. But you should know actually, that it’s just but to raise a few dollars, invest it and off you go. Many go into the corporate world get highly paid and relax forgetting that pretty soon they will have to retire and might have nothing to boast of. It’s very necessary to understand how to raise your capital in order to start a profitable investment that is worthwhile, but if you chose to work for a firm to get paid that is totally fine but the question is under what mindset are you working. Many believe in this idea of getting a good job that pays well and then relaxes and waits to believe that as they climb the corporate ladder, they may get a higher pay. So, they keep working and working expecting a promotion and an unlikely pay rise. In my own opinion that is not the best way to achieving the great wealth you crave. I am going to discuss working for money in 3 different perspectives read along and see what you were missing all this while.

WORKING AS A WAY OF GETTING INCOME
This is that particular part where many fail the test. Although working for income is not bad but getting a job and seeing it as a way of generating an income you live on is a pretty wrong concept. Think about it, after getting the pay, there are lots of bills to be cleared, rent, electric bills, and a lot more. When all of this is solved, then there is absolutely nothing left to boast of and that is what I call the negative cash flow. So if you see working as a way to get income, it is really not the best move for you and you might want to consider the other two perspectives of working with a firm.

AS A WAY TO LEARN SOME BASIC SKILLS
Yeah, financial progress is more of mental than physical. This might take a little while for one who is totally new in the field to understand but it is really about changing your reality- the way you see and do things, the way you think and feel about money. It is the ability to see a possibility in what others have considered impossible. If you want to grow financially free you must work to learn and not to earn. Though you earn anyway, that isn’t your focus. The focus is the invaluable education and experiences you are getting. Working to learn and not to earn is one basic paradigm change everyone heading the lane to financial freedom must have to experience.
This is very important for everyone but most important for new and young investors coming into the world of business.


WORKING AS A WAY TO RAISE CAPITAL
This is where I do encounter some problems because it kind of clashed with “working as a way of getting income”. But take a closer look and carefully analyze the two captions. You will get to notice that the difference is in the paradigm. The first persons are just interested in the income, as it is not seen as a leverage to create another possibility out of impossibility. The second person who is the professional worker and has undergone a paradigm shift sees his income not just as an income but as a gateway to creating more income, more wealth. He acknowledges what leverage he has if he can appropriately use his income. And using it wisely to make out a possibility of generating passive income through other investments, which is what I term the 'positive cash flow'. So if you want to be rich, you need to change your paradigm. By working as a way a way to learn and working as a way to raise capital. Don’t try the other, it can be very deadly to your financial growth.
