Advice For Young Investors Part 1
November 3rd, 2008Advice For Young Investors Part1
It is often hard for young investors to get good advice when it comes to investing. Often, they ask their friends or family for advice on how to get money, and what to do with money once they have it. This can have some detrimental outcomes, as younger people are easily influenced by their peers suggestions.
Firstly, just because someone offers you investment advice, it does not mean that advice is substantiated. If you must take advice from family or friends, it is best to do so only if that person is a successful investor themselves, and has the results to prove it. The most expensive advice, is usually free.
So where can a young investor go to get help? There are many ways to get good advice, and perhaps the most effective method, if to find a mentor. Preferably you would want your mentor to be someone who is successful in the investing field that interests you the most. If you wanted to be the next Warren Buffet then you wouldn’t necessarily look for a mentor who is a property investor would you.
To find a mentor, you will have to take massive action and get out there and put yourself on the line. Track down successful people, and arrange to meet them so you discuss your ambitions with. Many times, you will have to pay to be mentored, and this is totally acceptable. By paying money, you are implanting in your mind that you will treasure the information that you receive, and that you are serious about your goals. As a mentor, they will see that you are serious, and in turn will give you both time and advice. Who knows, perhaps you will even become a business partner with your mentor.
Your mentor doesn’t have to be someone that you do have real contact with. It could be someone from a Wealth Creation Homestudy program. This is often a highly effective way to get access to wealth education experts that you would not normally be able to. For your investment, there are some amazing strategies and investment advice that is yours to watch, as many times as you please. When I was starting out, I purchased many Stock Market and Property Investing Homestudy Programs, and in turn those investments paid for themselves quite quickly.
That’s all for part one of Advice for young investors. Next time we’ll have a look at some more ways you can get great advice to get your investing career off to a flying start.
