In investing, it's not always about swinging for the fences and hitting home runs. Just like in baseball, it's the consistent base hits that build up and win games. That's the philosophy I always share with my investors. Sure, some deals I thought were home runs turned out to be strikeouts. But others, initially thought of as base hits, turned into doubles or even triples. Truly fantastic investments. The key? Keeping the momentum going, staying active in the game. #action #leadershipquotes #investments #renting #realestatetips

Here is a concept every investor (and baseball fan) should understand: Reversion to the mean. In mid-April, I posted about how Aaron Judge was off to a slow start. He was batting about 100 points below his career average of .281. Fast forward to today and his average for the season is back in line with his career average. That’s not surprising at all. He reverted to his mean. That being said, it has taken an average during May of .376 to get him back to that point. He is unlikely to sustain that pace as well since it is too far above his career average. Investing in assets can be just like this. Assets tend to revert back to their long-term averages. Just beware that slumps and hot streaks in assets can last over a decade. Patience and a long-term plan are key to staying the course!

When it Comes to Investing, Life’s a Pitch! Warren Buffett uses a baseball pitch metaphor to explain his investment strategy, emphasising patience and selectivity. According to Buffett, investing is like baseball, but without the pressure of a "called strike" rule. In baseball, players must swing at pitches within the strike zone or risk being struck out. However, in investing, there are no called strikes, meaning investors can let many opportunities pass by without penalty. Buffett advises investors to "sit there and watch pitch after pitch go by and wait for the one right in your sweet spot." This means that instead of feeling compelled to invest in every potential opportunity, one should wait for investments that perfectly align with their criteria and understanding. This approach allows investors to avoid poor decisions and focus on high-quality investments that they believe in strongly. By being patient and selective, investors can maximize their chances of success, taking action only when they are confident in the investment's potential, minimizing unnecessary risks.

Moneyball is widely known and admired. People love the story and want to replicate the success. The key idea we see played out isn't unique to baseball: "How do we maximize 'wins' while leveraging the resources we have available?" This story revolves around the idea in baseball that buying the best players is the way you buy the most wins. Jonah Hill's character challenges this idea saying, "Your goal shouldn't be to buy players. It should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins, you have to buy runs." But how do you "buy runs"? It boils down to the basics: getting players on base. While analytics offer significant advantages, it's crucial to find ways to reconnect back to the ultimate goal of generating "wins" by identifying the fundamental pieces and understanding how they help generate wins. When we start to do that, we can start to ask the right questions and work toward meaningful impact.

When you start investing in the stock market it either: 1) Doesn’t work and you need to rethink your strategy 2) You have the right strategy but it gets hard and resilience is needed 3) Doesn’t work or gets "too" challenging and you walk away If you want to leave a legacy that makes generational wealth more than a buzzword Options 1 and 2 it must be.
