either. So his lesson was well-placed. Tell yourself that story if you
need to, and the winner part of you will take over.
The other component of winning is, simply, a winning attitude. I
tell people to see themselves as victorious. Positive thinking works.
It has a lot of power. Winning requires that kind of power, whether
you're a quiet person or a gregarious one. Power is strength, and
being positive can work you through some pretty difficult situations.
When I was deeply in debt at one time, I became stubborn and
refused to let it get me down. I simply refused to become negative.
I focused on the solution, and I assured myself that I would work
through the situation and come back to be more successful. That's
exactly what happened. My demise was written about in major
publications, and even then I refused to agree with them. My reality
was about my dreams, not about numbers. I won.
Are you stubborn enough to be a winner? Then you are capable
of investing to win! It's not a foreign territory and you don't need a
passport or a visa to join the ranks of winning investors. I've heard
a lot of people sayabout themselves, "I have a stubborn streak" and
then they act like they don't have what it takes or even the right to
learn about investing! As Robert pointed out, they will be missing
out on a lot of fun and a better financial future at the same time -
an unnecessary misfortune.
Ignorance can be more expensive than education, and that
certainly includes your financial education. Do not let the fear of
the unknown hinder your aspirations and your financial well-being.
