Investing is kind of scary

A few years ago, I was having dinner with my two college friends Christa and Caroline.
We were drinking the delicious and healthy aperitif Christa had prepared while enjoying the Zurich lake view from her balcony.
We started talking about our latest life happenings and troubles.
Like many women in their mid to late thirties, they were both keen to take charge of their finances, stop over-spending, and start planning for the future.
Christa and Caroline were both curious and intrigued when we started talking about investing.
But as I went on to explain the why and the how they both voiced the same concern:
What if I start investing, and then I lose my savings?
Can you relate?
I went on to explain that with a well-diversified and low-cost portfolio and a horizon of at least 20 to 30 years, this was quite unlikely.
But that's not the point I want to make here.
Instead, I would like you to consider the following quote:
" Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway. "
-- John Wayne, US Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient
Because, yes, investing is a little (or a lot) scary at the beginning.
And taking the plunge to finally get started, or doing more of it, definitely requires lots of courage!
But then, just like your first day in college or when starting a brand new job…
… once you've been doing it for a while, you gain confidence, and it becomes part of your routine.
And when that happens, it's not that scary anymore (well, especially when you know you're doing it right, of course!).
That's true for me. And for so many women in my course.
So why not give it a go?

3 年It's totally normal to be scared of something new. We are leaving our comfort zone and don't know what will happen with the next step. And investing still has that overall image, that it's connected with high risk, money lost etc. >> good that you're offering such a great support to take that fear away!
