Before determining what you should invest into, there are several vital steps to work through. This process can save you a great deal of time and money and can ensure your investment success into the future!

Consider this: Let’s say you are a professional sports coach and you meet a young man named Steve who tells you his passion since childhood has been basketball ever since he saw Michael Jordan hanging in the air for what seemed an eternity. Steve continues to tell you that he would like you to help him to become ‘the next big thing’ within the sport! While you are impressed by his convictions, you can’t help but notice Steve is only 5ft 8inches tall and isn’t the most athletic person you’ve met!

As a coach, you have an obligation to help Steve realise that while he may be able to achieve this dream, he should probably stick to the side that doesn’t require him to be seven feet tall. With this level of passion, he should instead work with his strengths. So while slamming baskets isn’t possible, he could perhaps become ‘the next big coach’ instead!

I can’t tell you how often I meet people who approach me for advice only to reveal they are looking to invest only in property or shares. While this is well and good, the ‘product’ you invest into should be the last decision you make. Like Steve, you need to first and foremost work with what you have, using this as a framework to further build upon and create the wealth you desire.
