A speaker lost all his money in his twenties and had to start over. He says most people make excuses instead of investing, blaming external factors or bad strategies. The real move is to learn how investing works and take action.
Has anyone lost everything and lost a shitload of money and had to want to start again? Has anyone else in the room done that? Yeah, me too. Early 20s, I lost everything and had to start all over again. It sucks, doesn't it? Yes. But congratulations for actually stepping up to the plate because what a lot of people do is that when they have these type of losses and things that happen, what they tend to do is they go, no, that's not for me. I don't invest. Investing doesn't work. And they make up all these reasons, all these excuses, all this stuff in their head about why it doesn't work or why it doesn't work for them. Where, do you know what? Sometimes things just happen. Or sometimes your strategy wasn't right. Or you didn't have the right education. You listened to the wrong people or whatever it actually was. And now you gotta step up, get empowered, get an understanding, and get moving again. So congratulations and thank you for being here. Appreciate it. Thank you.
