It took me years to get over my fear of investing on my own. I enjoyed learning about investing more than actually investing if that makes any sense. I didn’t believe in myself at first. I was too afraid of loosing money. I’m not a risk taker. I noticed something changed overtime when I started writing about the investing lessons learned and the strategies. I started gaining the courage to give investing a try in spite of my fear. I focused on owning a solid business with strong fundamentals so I can hold on for more than 10 years so I could ride out the highs and lows.

I installed the Stock Market Simulator app on my phone. I used up to $100,000 virtual money to see how investing worked. I used the app for about 1 month while I researched the company I wanted to own.

I finally settled on the company stock that I wanted to own so I purchased a few shares with my real money. When you do your company research and find a proven strategy that works.. then just do it and see what happens. That’s exactly what I did!
