Since the recent surge in the corona pandemic I have heard peaople ask more financial related questions.
My question to you is do you have a plan ?
That is the golden question.
Before you decide to invest make a decision on what you want to do.
Majority of the world is in quarantine and people are not working unless they are essential workers .

There are some people With limited or no income some people have reserves others have been forced to start side hustles .
Some people are resorting to desperate measures jeopardizing their freedom.
This is not something to laugh about.
Hearing about people getting arrested for going to the grocery stores on a day that they are not supposed to be out is not a good site .
The effects of the pandemic are real.With that being said you and I have to pay attention
We have to stop and observe and come up with a plan.
Some harsh lessons have been learned .
Those of us paying attention will succeed .
There are multiple resources you can invest in to enhance your skills .
Remember Knowledge is powerful when apllied .
It’s time to zone in .
Last weeks post was about starting business in the pandemic.
This weeks post is about investing in yourself .

Do note The greatest investment you can make is in your personal development .
Remember Warren Buffetts words (The more you learn the more you earn)
This means listening to podcast ,going to your local library ,investing in seminars ,audio books etc.
Please note that this is not a get rich scheme .
You can get rich but what I want you to do is listen and learn the principles .
Please Don’t be shy , ask questions if you need answers .
Don’t assume that you know it all.
As far as teachers I am recommending Robert Kiyosaki .He is a well respected and established investor .
If your forte is in stocks I am reccommending Charlie munger and Warren Buffett .
Both of them are highly intelligent critical ,analytical investors ,you can find their teachings on youtube or in books.
Discipline yourself and be patient ,haste makes waste .
Fools rush in. And I know because I make foolish decisions sometimes.
For instsnce you will come across people offering huge returns so be on alert .
People do that to entice and manipulate you.
It takes time to build wealth and a strong portfolio.
Learn the field and connect with reputable People .
Linked in is an excellent place for B2B connections.
Taking time to research before investing is going to save you heartache and money.
Knowledge applied is like compounding interest .
The process of doing these things is even more important .
If what we are experiencing right now doesn’t inspire you to learn and grow I don’t know what will.
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started” Mark Twain !
I did say be Patient but do not procrastinate learning and taking actions that align with your goals .
The goal is to invest in yourself so that you can have the tools you need to improve your situation.
That’s obvious right ? The amount of people that overlook it is astounding .
Remember The time is always right to think . You have to Plant the seeds .
Action Breeds results .
I want you to focus and take action if you should desire .
The pandemic we are facing is not the first nor the last so prepare like another storm is coming.
You might kick and scream now but eventually you will look back on this moment and thank me.
The reason why I can relate so much is because I am a student of life .
Some of us learn the hardway but that doesn’t have to always be the case .
We can simply apply ourselves and march forward to improve out situations
Today’s works sets the tone and foundation for the future.
So if you invest in yourself today your lining yourself up for prosperity .
The wise person learns from their trials tribulations and ordeals.
Unwise people repeat the same mistakes over and over.
And I am only telling you this so that you don’t have to resort to desperate measures or Government support.
This is not the last pandemic .We might not face the samething but there will be more uncertainty and depressions.
Make every minute count .The world has been forced in a position to readjust .

We have to be mindful and dilligent moving forward .Prepare like another storm is on the way .
What the world has been faced with today is a unique tragedy .
This will forever be in our history books .
Don’t relax and get complacent .
Stay on it .
