My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there – investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties – I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process – upgrading your money-making toolbox.

Here’s one: since most first time investors lose their shirt, wear your worst shirt the first time you invest (wear a shirt you don’t mind losing—and definitely don’t wear your best or only shirt). When I was talking to my wife about this, she said it reminded her of painting days. The first time our kids painted in school we sent them in in clothes they could get paint on. Something they could live without. The Mistake:

1. Wearing your best shirt (or only shirt) the first time you paint. (Wear something you can part with).

Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge....

I wasn't financial free until my 50’s and I’m still in my 50’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.

I’m a noob who has been getting very excited getting started in investing right at the time nvidia was at $600 and watching this company shoot up in an unprecedented way. This video has been really insightful in that it shows how much more there is to learn and how easy it is to avoid the mistakes that others have made. Thank you!!

[IceCreamMeltdown]

This is the best investing video I've ever seen...and I've watched a boat load of them! Very helpful. Thank you.

[themuls]

Very informative and entertains too keeping it interesting and lively. Thanks

[mattde]

Thanks man. My primary mistake is in the "due diligence" area, but maybe not the way most people think: I missed some intel on upcoming law suits for companies.If i caught those, i could have gotten a much better price or wouldn't have bought two companies altogether. Luckily, until i'm stupid enough to realize these losses, i'm probably good. So yeah, folks: Watch out for stuff beyond the financial fundamentals. It can save/make you some money...
