Hesitating to invest

Let me start with the story of Edwin C Aldarin, also called as Buzz Aldarin. Do you know that he was chosen to be the first person to step on the moon as he was the pilot of Apollo mission? The story goes like this, when the spacecraft landed on the moon, they received a command from NASA center “Pilot first” Aldarin hesitated and not for long but a few seconds, but in the meantime NASA sent the next command “co-pilot next” and rest is history. Neil Armstrong become the first person to step on the moon. This happens to us in everyday life. Nobody remembers the person who comes second. Go through history, it is always first person to …. Etc. All of us the potential, but we hesitate. The only thing that stops us is our fear.

All of us know that equity gives us the best returns, but then we have heard so many stories of failures or have the fear of the unknown like Aldarin. We are even scared to ask for help. Is there any player who has succeeded without a coach? The reason they go to a coach is to bring out the best in them. Every person has the talent, but then the coach gets the best out of them. In investing also, we also fear or hesitate, because of the fear of losing money, but this fear will get us the next best think. Aldarin had all the qualifications and training, but he hesitated. Why are you hesitating, if you are not sure, get hold of a financial advisor, who will help you remove the fear? With the current market volatility there are a lot of opportunities, do not hesitate go out and invest. There is money to be made, be the first.

Oh, now THIS is a comparison that makes me think I should really consider investing. Being a fan of the Apollo missions, this article brought inspiration! I just got a coach I found on markstreshinsky.com, but I still hesitated whether I'll be active in my learning. Not I do not, thanks!
