Investing: Marathon or a sprint?
Why investing as a lifestyle is a Marathon and not a sprint?
A few years ago, I pursued a realtor license – I did not expect myself to actually do it for a living but anticipated that such a license would serve me greatly in performing real estate deals along the way.
In reality this license came in handy on several occasions, but these are the “sprints”. Little did I know that I wan going forward in my “marathon” as well. I’ll elaborate – In the realtor materials was a section I felt connected to instantly – Negotiation Skills. The ability to control, diverse, understand at some level the communication between two (or more) sides who conduct a real estate deal.
Since I emphasized this section as important to me, I focus more on it, which got things moving and a few months later I found myself lecturing in a chain of colleges about negotiation skills in real estate deals. A few years later in retrospective I see the progress of my early decision – 1 realtor license = a long-lasting, compounding, ongoing journey. And so were the rewards – they came gradually after each “sprint” but compounded to one big “marathon”, which I happily keep on running in today.
Now, here’s the reference to your point of view –
Plan long. Act short.
Creating the lifestyle you want for yourself is working on both ranges – In the long term – have a plan, create a way and a path in which you will want to keep on striding. In the short term – start acting, move ponds, study and execute (you have a plan remember?)
The outcome of these two ranges working simultaneously is a “marathon” you will enjoy the “sprints” it is made of.
