INVESTING | GIVE EVERY DOLLAR A JOB
Investing consists of allocating resources to a project to generate a positive return, in an optimal and risk-adjusted approach. However, financial success is 80% about soft skills (mindset) and only 20% about technical skills.
In terms of Mindset and soft skills, I am strongly inspired by timeless teachings like the Parable of the Talents, which strongly remind the importance of optimising my asset allocation, “giving every talent [dollar] a job”.
For my technical skills, beyond a vetted collection of studies, books and interviews of great minds, I share actionable strategies and tools that genuinely worked for me. Enjoy your Investment journey. Keep it real, Sweat Your Assets.
