To the new investor who is tired of sifting through complicated strategies that seem to get you nowhere

Like many new investors, you have probably tried your hand in multiple investment strategies over the years. Each one netting the same result: disaster.

With so much bad information readily available, this is a very easy thing to do. So much of investment literature is focused on income statements and identifying trends in the market when these are only pieces of a much larger puzzle.

Too many novice investors have lost thousands of dollars from buying into companies because they had impressive income statements.

“They're making more money, so how can I go wrong?”

Then suddenly those shares experience a sharp rise in price due to temporary news (or no perceivable reason at all!). This crowd-following technique has also netted significant losses. Although trends and Income Statements are undeniably important, they can be misleading and provide only one component of proper analysis. This is a fact that many new AND experienced investors often forget or disregard.

Far too many individual investors get caught up in those phony, but exciting fantasies and lose. They let themselves get jerked around by the markets, watching hard-earned money go down the drain.

Chasing the "hot stock." The latest fad... How do you stop yourself from getting caught in shiny object syndrome? How do you gain the courage and the confidence to permanently ignore the media’s seductive financial noise machine?

Many investing aficionados are more interested in the adrenaline rush than slowly building wealth over time. The biggest challenge with investing is finding the right blend between effectiveness and effort. The market is not something to conquer or control. It is simply made up of organizations of hardworking people, called publicly traded corporations.

“I just want financial security for my family... and an early retirement wouldn't be too bad either!”

There is a growing struggle for calm and security. "Money can't buy happiness." Well, no, but it sure can make a lot of things easier! While it is certainly not 100% of the equation, it's hard to think of any areas of life where that money wouldn't help you advance towards your goals. Education, security, housing... You name it, money helps.

The hard part is learning to recognize the emotional, knee-jerk reactions born out of fear and ignorance that can cause so much damage to a retirement plan.

Imagine being able to leave that 9-5 and build your nest egg. A nice early retirement and more time doing what you want to do. A life of abundance where you have the ability to care for yourself and those around you with increased certainty.

You want a future worth looking forward to...

To get there, you need to take risks.

Fear may be the biggest obstacle that individuals face when investing in the stock market. Most investors fear risk. They hold on to their losers and sell their winners too quickly.

The worry of a market crash or unexpected downturn lead people to make rash decisions based on emotion rather than logic. They believe that safe, predictable returns are next to impossible to come by these days, so they choose not to play at all.

You have the chance to become more financially resilient and ride any waves that may come about without fear.

You have the chance to gain more confidence going forward to face the inevitable hard times ahead.

You have the chance to MASTER risk - and make it work for you!

“Let me be honest: I’m a deer in freaking headlights when it comes to this stuff!”

I get it... There are so many options, strategies, and potential pitfalls out there... it's enough to make anyone's head spin. In that fog of complexity, you start second guessing yourself. At that point, it is so easy to slip into paralysis by analysis. Why?

Simply put: you lack firsthand knowledge on how it all works. If your parents knew this stuff and taught you all the right ways to manage risk and make smarter decisions, you wouldn't be reading this right now.

Oh, sure, you could go hire a financial advisor...

However, most often those individuals that do have financial advisors just blindly do whatever their advisor tells them to without understanding what is actually going on.

By the time they reach the right conclusions, forty years have gone by and tens of thousands of dollars spent on so-called financial planner fees to get there. Sadly, I'm really not exaggerating...

The harsh reality is that frustration and inefficiency is at an all time WTF...

The practices of these companies are predatory, especially towards the low-income individuals.

There is often a hidden agenda...

How can you get your fair share of the market without being victimized by some of the sharks that reside in the financial industry?

At this point, you have three choices...

1. Hire a financial advisor:

If you go this route, be prepared to pay ridiculously high fees. And there is no guarantee you'll even get a good advisor. When interviewing a potential advisor, they'll present you with fancy charts and soon you're swimming in finance industry jargon. This fuels your fear that you don't know enough to do things on your own, so you concede to their expertise. But should you?

The advice you will get is only within their realm of expertise, which may not stray far outside of their own wealth management bubble. You are limited by what they know and what they think is best.

Conflict of interest is something else to consider because most advisors are looking out for their own best interest, not yours.

2. Keep going about it on your own:

You could buy more books on investing. Read more articles. Watch lots of videos. Drown yourself in useless information that gets you nowhere...

Being successful this way is not impossible, but it takes a lot of time, patience, and critical discernment to sift through all of that noise to find the signal.

You could let yourself get sucked into sketchy training programs with lofty promises like, "You'll know exactly when the market is going to crash and which stocks are going to triple overnight. You'll know when and why to sell when others are doing just the opposite."

No one can promise these things. If they do, that is an immediate red flag that a scam is in your midst.

You need a solution with no secret agendas, hidden fees, or crazy upsells. Just someone to explain all of the pieces. Someone to help you formulate a plan so you can start making more money while taking fewer risks. Which leads to the third option...

3. Get some guidance and direction from a trusted expert

The most effective way to become a confident investor is to learn from someone who knows the markets. Someone with more than 20 years of experience helping investors understand risk and uncertainty in the stock market...
