Ryan Leslie: This Is The Simple Method To Building Generational Wealth: 'Eighth Wonder Of The World'

[@ryanwilliams989]

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

[@TheresaAnderson-kf5xw]

Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .

[@StellaMaris-lv2uq]

Exactly ! That's my major concern and what lucrative investment can one venture into with the current rise in economic downturn

[@hunter-bourke21]

In fact, I had no prior experience or understanding when I began investing in 2018, but by the end of 2019, I had made a profit of almost $750k. All I had been doing was going by what my financial advisor had told me. This demonstrates that all you truly need is a professional to assist you; you don't even need to be a great investor or put in a lot of work.

[@maggysterling33254]

@@hunter-bourke21I'm actually interested in this idea of investing through an analyst. Sounds like the most sensible thing to do in the market right now. Could you give me a pointer to who you work with, please?

[@hunter-bourke21]

She's known as *Izella Annette Anderson* One of the finest portfolio managers in the field. She's widely recognized; you should take a look at her work.

[@tonysilke]

Investments are the roots of financial security; the deeper they grow, the stronger your future will be, One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $200k of my savings in stocks this year, and I know I’ll make profits.

[@Nernst96]

You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

[@PatrickLloyd-]

That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.

Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, I had only $78k to my name at 42 when I first woke up to this reality. I chose the stock market as a medium of growth, got an excellent financial advisor, Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.

[@Raymondcraw1967RaymondCrawley]

Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $500K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.

[@AndersonFair-cy2bb]

No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.

[@Rachadrian]

Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival.

[@michaelwiebeck3]

Since the outbreak of 2020, which significantly affected the market, I've been consulting an investment coach before making any investment decisions because their entire philosophy is built around employing a high-profit orientated plan while simultaneously trading long and short, as well as decreasing risk exposure as a hedge against inevitable downtrends. When coupled with their access to odd data and analysis, underperformance is virtually impossible.

Building generational takes a lot of sacrifices and that is what a lot of us are not willing to do.

I hope to attain financial freedom soon. One more thing, I always look forward to your content keep up the good work.

[@OnlyoneSithembilé]

You can’t overlook the fact that it’s paramount not to get greedy but to remain invested through careful study, if not you can lose it all.

[@Christensend]

It’s not rocket science. As I said previously, I got into stocks, index funds, and REITs, myself but wasn't getting the results I wanted the first couple of months. Got tired of losing and decided to seek mentorship from Jonas Herman, a certified fiduciary who helps oversee my investments.

[@Archaengelh]

Over the years, I've been part of numerous investment programs, sifting through a barrage of information. Yet, none comes close to the sheer clarity, depth, and precision of Herman’s instructions and insights. It's akin to finding a diamond in the dirt.

Rule of 72 /compound interest - he's correct that most aren't fully aware. I'm a financial literacy advocate and teach it as well - what I've come across is that most don't want to learn or have little patience to learn because they want the results fast through minimal work. Indices (index) tend to be viewed as conservative growth because of its cap/floor and "less sexy" than stocks and mutual funds. Be aware that compounding interest can also work against you when it comes to revolving debt.

What isnt everybody doing it?

The needs managed by the basics overshadow the next step of investing. 8) trauma from financial mistakes Overall like he said fear, greed, and ego.
