The best time to plant a shade tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. This speaks to my belief that anyone can achieve financial independence. It speaks to time, compounding and diversity.
You can work towards achieving financial independence with some surprisingly simple rules that make for success.
The first is time and this key rule works when you invest in the market and stay invested over time. If we look at the average return of 9%, an investor may double the investments every eight years. If you have more time, you could double, quadruple, eight times and sixteen times*. Begin as soon as possible and remember: it is never too late to plant the tree.
The extraordinary power of compounding is the second rule. Compounding is the interest earned on interest, and the dividends earned on dividends. It has been called the eighth wonder of the world. Invest gradually and consistently.
Diversification is the third key. History has shown the results of not diversifying. Even some of the best companies have downturns and losses. Overall, with diversity, it can be a smoother path to a successful financial result.
After 38 years in the financial field, my goal is to help you achieve your financial goals.
