The Most Important Rule in Investing

What Does Investing Mean To You?

What comes to mind when you mention the word investing?

Does it mean, putting your money in real estate, mutual funds, the stock or share market or even high-yield investments?

Other people might only think about investing when they are about to die and they haven’t left anything for their children.

Some even shiver when they hear the word, often claiming that they have no money to invest or feel that is too complicated a subject to even discuss about.

Many people even invest heavily in health supplements, personal trainers and beauticians to make themselves live longer, healthier or even look younger! Imagine the advertising budget for beauty companies nowadays.

All these are valid concerns when it comes to investing, but I am talking about the most important investment a person can make in his lifetime.

Invest in Yourself

The most important and No.1 rule is “Invest in Yourself” – if you don’t, who else will?
