I wouldn't call myself an expert in Investing.
However, I have spent hundreds of hours reading, learning and taking exams about Investing. And I have spent many hours practicing Investing in my own life.
Here's how I first got interested in Investing:
I spent my childhood feeling like the stock market was this big scary thing. Something utterly confusing.
I hated the fact that there was something that seemed so important that I had no knowledge about at all.
So when I got my first job in Financial services I committed my time to learning everything I could about investing. It was like trying to face my fear directly.
It turns out that investing can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. It definitely doesn't HAVE to be complicated.
Moving forward, my commitment is:
To continue learning about investing, but more importantly, learn how to communicate investing concepts to people in a simple and easy to understand way so that they can have a more successful investment experience.
