Episode 3302: Kent Thune reminds us that the greatest factor in long-term investing success is not the market, the economy, or government policy, but ourselves. By focusing on what we can control, like asset allocation, time in the market, and savings rate, while cultivating self-awareness and defining our own path, we gain both financial resilience and personal growth. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.getrichslowly.org/the-number-one-impact-on-your-investments-is-you/ Quotes to ponder: “The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” “If I have even just a little sense, I will walk on the main road and my only fear will be straying from it.” “Meaning, happiness, and control in our lives best derive from internal sources.” Episode references: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (online test): https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ: https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Intelligence-Matter-More-Than/dp/055338371X Learn more about your ad choices.
