Did you know that we can become better investors if we approach investing like we might get punched in the face?

A friend of mine, who was a very talented martial artist, and to whom this episode is dedicated, recently shared a story that stuck with me.

He narrated that when he was preparing for big competitions, his coach pulled him aside and said that he would likely get hurt when he stepped into the ring, and the real challenge was how he reacted to that pain and kept going. 

Guess what? It’s exactly the same with investing money. 

When you invest your money, there’s always a chance that you will lose that money or make bad decisions.
