As an avid investor, I often mull over how accomplished investors are able to amass fortunes through their investment endeavors. Presently, I hold equity exceeding $545K from a recent home sale, yet I'm uncertain about my next investment move. Should I consider buying stocks at this time, or should I await another opportunity?

[@Emmahernandez.]

The present market conditions could offer chances to enhance earnings quickly, yet to implement such a plan, expertise is essential.

[@Jamesrogues60]

Undeniably factual. Despite my absence of prior investing acumen, I ventured into investments pre-pandemic and managed to amass a profit of about $450k within that year. Essentially, I solely relied on professional counsel.

[@JackHudson.]

Lately, I've been researching advisors, but the market updates I've encountered haven't been very positive. Who's your guide?

[@Jamesrogues60]

Actually its a Lady. Yes my go to person is a ‘LAURELYN GROSS POHLMEIER '. So easy and compassionate Lady. You should take a look at her work.

[@alexyoung3126]

Every strategy carries its own set of pros and cons and picking the right one depends on your specific financial goals, but in order to execute such effective decisions, you must be a professional.

[@jessicamoore3093]

I have been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you.

While some investors may see opportunities in market downturns, it's crucial to approach investment decisions with caution and careful research. Recessions can be challenging times for businesses, and not all companies may recover in the same way or at the same pace. Diversification, thorough analysis, and understanding one's risk tolerance are essential components of any investment strategy.

[@LewisAtonn]

Additionally, short-term trading strategies, such as trying to capitalize on market volatility, can be risky and may not be suitable for all investors. Timing the market consistently is notoriously difficult, and short-term price movements can be unpredictable. It's always recommended to consult with financial professionals and do thorough research before making any investment decisions. Each investor's situation is unique, and what works for one person may not be suitable for another.....

It's crucial for individuals to recognize the importance of seeking expert advice, particularly when it comes to managing investments and mitigating risks....

[@WiolciaMrozowska531]

Thanks to the guidance of Sir John Desmond Heppolette, my investments have thrived. However, it's crucial to note that the ultimate factor influencing returns is the amount of capital invested. A substantial initial budget enhances the potential for greater gains.

[@tomaszcz_k]

John Desmond Heppolette truly appears to be knowledgeable in this field. After conducting a Google search of his full names, I thoroughly reviewed his web page, including his resume, and qualifications, which were truly impressive.

This is quite educational. It's crucial for newcomers to keep in mind that the financial markets are highly irrational in the short run. You should constantly be ready for the unexpected. That is how chance operates. Because of the inherent risks in the market, I always favor long-term investments.

[@bob.weaver72]

I completely understand your concerns. But In this current unstable markets, It is advisable to diversify while retaining 70-80% in secure investments. looking at your budget, you should consider financial advisory.

Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.

[@hankmarks69]

Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $650K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.

[@PhilipDunk]

I always consult a financial advisor before investing. During the pandemic, I used their strategies to minimize risks and maximize profits, generating around $3 million in two years with my advisor

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

[@SandraDave.]

Impressive insights! For beginners like me, managing and staying updated can be overwhelming. Are you an experienced investor or do you have a strategic approach for staying informed?

[@hersdera]

Absolutely not, as I've closely tracked my portfolio's performance, witnessing a staggering $482k growth in just the last two quarters. This experience has taught me the secrets behind experienced traders' substantial gains in what might appear as unpredictable markets. Undoubtedly, it's been a bold and rewarding choice I made fairly recently.

[@EdwinSolomon-zs3nz]

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this consultant?

[@johnben9]

Creating wealth and gaining financial freedom isn’t as difficult as lots of people think. Through the right information, building wealth and staying financially stable forever is way easy. Investing is the only true way to earn a great income and staying wealthy forever..

[@LizaPhilips]

The first step in creating wealth, is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance - either on your own or with the help of a financial advisor. If you can get the facts about savings and investing with a well detailed plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your income.

[@geofferymichelle340]

You’re right! Working with a financial advisor will genuinely set you up for success in life. I’m glad I was able to hire a financial advisor “Natalie Lynn Fisk earlier this year since while others were complaining about the downturn, I was busy cashing out from my investment, eventually making over seven figures in the first quarter alone…

[@johnphilip1]

[@kortyEdna825]

Nobody can suddenly become prosperous financially. Although they did the background work, we mostly see the ultimate product. Fear is a harmful factor that prevents us from making the courageous decisions we need to make in order to achieve our goals. You have to deal with things like inflation, the recession, Fed policies, and more. In just a few months, I was able to add $289k to my portfolio.

[@rodrigo.971]

I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value

[@batmanbillions]

Fear comes from many things. Fear of poverty, fear of society pressure...Marriage cost(bcz everyone is doin it), many many things...however i have overcome this..but still someday fatigued,,,fall 7 times rise 8 times...this i remember

Love these. I can sit here all day and binge watch you guys talk about how you would start a business and actually break it down bit by bit. It's so amazing that we have access to this information, and I'm truly grateful there are people like you offering such golden information. These are my FAVORITE shows. I think the only problem I have is choosing one business and sticking to it until succeeding but if it doesn't work, do you keep working at the same thing or do you do something else and how do you know if you should stick to it or change courses because you have to have a little bit of delusion to stick to ONE thing and focus on it. I think that is what I'm battling right now...

[@TheRussianGenius]

I think you should go with your gut. You start one business, and you CAN juggle two things at ones, but one thing should be the primary thing until that gets off the ground

[@thew3bguy]

This was a much needed talk for me at this point of life. Thank you Shaan!

[@vrabuha]

You broke this down extremely well... everyone needs to understand the whole journey is in PHASES. Shaan has been through it and he shares valuable insight. I remember starting out in my early career phase and I would ALWAYS look for the A+ problems. That's the only way I "created luck" for myself. The more problems I would look at and try to figure out, the more my paycheck grew. Learn, absorb, study, AND execute. Give it enough time.

You are a high quality, solid individual doing great legacy work with your channel. I appreciate you and your choices. From my liminal shift from Learn to earn, I am a university for relational alchemy in one body. Getting up over and over, this video helped me identify some key stages. My heart is legacy driven and my business savvy is listening for the right lead product. Laughed because what you call design to be lucky I call designing pockets. If you don't design them you can fill them. For me I am motivated to design for others benefit, that was something I had to figure out how to use to design something sustainable.

Brilliant advice and thoughts. A very enjoyable listen

[@daggerthree]

1) Not entirely confident that there's zero competition for "marketing for nursing homes" or something similar--either there is some competition or it may not be an attractive segment at all 2) a 10k monntly retainer seems awfully rich for such a small business 3) agencies are hard to sell especially when the principals (you) is the reason the agency is succssful in the first place. 4) If you're hiring overseas or not, your margins aren't exactly 90%; it's only the case when an individual takes on the work himself. The service or agency business itself matters. Mainting a website is a low montly retainer. If you're doing media buying that's a percentage of media spend or a flat fee--either of which would be low for small businesses or startups. Creative/design services are billed as one off services unless you adopt subscription on demand service but aagin, this isn't a 10k month business for small companies or startups.

Sometimes there can be a lot of internal competition at a large company to get the opportunity to work on the A+ problem. Sure you can take the initiative and email the CEO an analysis but how many toes are you stepping on to do that? How many levels of boss' heads are you going over? How many other bosses are also wrangling each other for the privilege of being the one tasked with the high profile problems? You can bypass all that but you might finish only to turn around and find that you have made a lot of enemies in the process.
