Imagine what your life would be like if you were able to keep your fears from holding you back??
What would you do?
The challenge for most people is the risk of feeling like a failure keep some people from achieving their greatness within. It is human nature to leave a way out if we are confronted with something that makes us feel uncomfortable.
During the last financial crisis millions of people in America were loosing money in the markets, some peoples 401k’s lost 40-50 percent of their value, folks on a fixed income were now faced with going back to work just to get by…If you turned on the news the topic of each broadcast was negative information…People were told to sell before they lost all their savings which made more people be fearful of what was going to happen next!
Some of the most successful people on the planet made millions during times of despair.
Sir John Templeton the greatest investor of the 20th century started from very humble beginnings living in a small town in Tennessee. He worked hard and found himself on wall street during the 1937 depression. He always believed in buying shares at “the point of maximum pessimism.” Whereas most people were fearful John thought it was the time to invest. When people thought this is the greatest time in history-John sold shares.
In 1939 John implemented his theory, investing $100 in every stock valued at $1.00 or less on the New York Stock Exchanges. That one portfolio became the basis of his empire.
Truth is we are all faced with challenges every day that can make us fearful, loss of a job, a health issue, having enough money to retire…etc…
