Investing is not saving or trading and they can be easily confused!
𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 is about getting your money to work for you by buying and
holding assets. Assets create wealth for you in the long term, independently
of the time you put in. This could be by providing an income or increasing in
value or both. Investing is not a quick fix, it’s for the long term, at least 5 or 10
years, or more.
𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 is putting aside cash in a safe and accessible place with the
intention of spending it later. It is important to have some savings before
you start to invest
𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 involves buying and selling of assets in the short term. It’s
technical, takes time to learn and do, and you really have to know what
you’re doing. Even if you do know (or think you do) there is no guarantee
you will get a better return than investing. It is also, for most, an
emotional roller coaster!

Chasing the latest trends or innovations in the investment world can be risky.
History shows that investing money steadily and consistently in long-standing, and seemingly ‘boring’ companies can give outstanding returns.
Putting money into a diversified range of established companies with proven track records will bring you long-term success.
Thinking like an investor means being consistent, and avoiding emotional reactions and rushed decisions.
Slow and steady wins the race 😉✨ Want to find out more?
I help women learn about how to invest, equipping them with the confidence to get started and making the male, pale and stale world of investing accessible to all.

It's time to talk about Mary Ellen Pleasant, another forgotten female investor 👇
Mary Ellen Pleasant was a 19th-century entrepreneur, financier, real estate magnate and abolitionist.
She defined herself as a “capitalist by profession” because her mission was to amass wealth to help as many people as possible.
Mary Ellen had a successful business providing lodging for miners during the California Gold Rush. After moving to San Francisco, she made intelligent investments in gold, silver, various companies and banks.
While working as a live-in domestic she overheard conversations between the wealthy men she served. She used this information to inform her investment decisions.
Mary Ellen was aware of her precarious position as a black woman who had achieved financial and political power.
She was a fascinating figure, and found ways to integrate into the culture of her time, forming a close alliance with Thomas Bell.
He was a wealthy banker and capitalist and he helped her keep her true financial status a secret.
Their collaboration meant she could finance and build her own mansion, that outwardly appeared to belong to the Bells. Mary Ellen served there as the housekeeper, managing both the household staff and relationships among the Bell family.

What's the point of it all?
The purpose of investing is to live from your assets or the money your assets are making.
You are aiming to live on your capital rather than live from your labour.
It’s a long-term project.
What this means is the short-term ups and downs of your investments over 12-18 months don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things!
Save and invest for another 10, 20 or 30 years and you’ll struggle to see the wobble in your records.
Thinking for the long term and being consistent will be your solid foundation to a financial future of your own design ✨
Live from your money, rather than your work 👇
