No Guts, No Glory


Wealth is built up over time. In fact it requires many years of diligent investing to create wealth. The most difficult thing though is to do, to take the first step to invest. It takes courage to step out of your comfort zone and do something about your future.

Rich people tend to be more courageous than poor people. Poor people tend to be more analytical than rich people! Wow, that’s a big statement isn’t it?
I’m not talking about all the rich and all the poor. No I’m talking about those in society who you would describe as Joe Average.

The average person out there who looks at an opportunity to invest for their future but gets analysis paralysis and makes a decision to do nothing. Doing nothing begets nothing. Not a very good retirement plan is it? This is the behaviour of 95% of Aussies. 19 out of 20 people in Australia will require state welfare in retirement only 1 in 20 people will be self funded or better in retirement.

Do you see what I mean? Fear causes people to analyse something they know little about only to conclude that it’s safer to do nothing and thus they get nothing, but they’re safe aren’t they? No they just feel safe because they remained in their comfort zone.

Whether it’s property or shares just remember “it takes time” nobody gets rich overnight. Rich is more than just money, it’s an understanding that comes with years of diligently investing.
