INVESTING
Starting your property journey is often the toughest and scariest move to make , but also the most rewarding in so many ways . The only way to start is to start and to start now .
Ski or snowboard ? Make up your mind when you start
They are both great snow disciplines but also fundamentally different . When you start it is unwise to try both of them at the same time . It will slow your progress down and cause you too many unnecessary painful falls . Start one of the two , master it and only then move to the next discipline .
I see the same mistake with many growing property investors investing in too many different areas , using too many different strategies . Focus first , diversify later , much later .
Our family " white " holiday in the Italian Alps suffered a big blow when my wife Zinhle fell on an icy road . A badly fractured wrist and a trip to the local Casualty ensued , with an early return to SA to help her recovery and healing .
If you hope or plan for 2023 to be easier , you will be likely very disappointed ... Expect the unexpected and be ready for it .
