First, do you have a rich mindset or poor mindset? If you just “play the money game to not lose”, it means you have a poor mindset. And one of our topics related to increasing your confidence in investing money is how to have a rich/millionaire mindset.

Second, financial literacy seminars or personal finance seminars for you are very expensive. If you want to overcome the fear of losing investment capital, attend seminars, it will boost your confidence about investing because your knowledge about financial literacy was increased. I familiarized the old saying when it comes to education – “if you think education is expensive, try IGNORANCE”.

Third, you have a lot of excuses and alibis. Actually nowadays, it only takes not more than half an hour to open an investment accounts, it is easy to open an investment account because of technology. One of your main reasons is you have “no money to invest” because you are only earning a minimum wage per day.

Fourth, you I have so many obligations and bills to pay every month such as tuition fees, utility bills and other expenses such as necessities. I have no extra money to invest. I have to provide first the needs of my family before that so called “investments”.

Fifth, okay, wow! Investing is great but I will do it tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or when I hit the age 50. The problem is you forget what you have said “investing is great”. When the time comes, you will only realize that investing is great especially if you have no longer capable of working. That system is called “procrastination”.

As a Summary, here are your reasons why you’re not investing;

• You do not want to lose money, that’s not a big deal because you have a poor mindset.
• Financial literacy seminars are very expensive, you love to be ignorant rather than to be educated.
• You are very good at making reasons and alibis, but making profits? – you are weak.
• You only think the “today’s life”, but never dream to have a bright future. Okay fine, pay your bills and provide your family’s needs, but you don’t know how really great if you provide your family a great and wonderful future.
• You agreed that investing is great but you are not yet investing because procrastination is always popping up in your mind.
