MINDSET | INVEST IN YOURSELF
Financial success is 80% about soft skills (mindset) and only 20% about technical skills. Contrary to common perception, finance is more an art than a science. In fact, besides the elegant theory, there is no evidence of a “homo economicus” characterized by the ability to make rational decisions. Indeed, all finance is behavioural: individuals (professionals and non-professionals alike) make (financial) decisions based on emotions and cognitive biases. In a nutshell, we must remind ourselves that “we met the enemy, it is us”. In order to master financial matters, you must invest in yourselves first, because:

In this section, you can access my selection of articles to challenge and grow your mindset and mental models, following the path of great leaders that sought what Maynard Keynes called “worldly wisdom”. Their unconstrained, pragmatic and determined willingness to explore “what works” makes them powerful role models to study in your pursuit of success not only in financial matters but in every area of life.
Master yourself: master your personal decision-making process. You will master your finances.
