Worst investment ever

Jam’s worst investment ever was not investing in himself early in life. He didn’t try exploring new things or gaining new skills, and because of this, he missed out on many opportunities. It took Jam a long time to discover that when you’re investing, it’s not really about timing the market; it’s about time in the market. The same thing applies when investing in yourself. It pays to learn something early on in life by trying out new things, discovering things, and then getting into that. And once you get good at something, you continue with it for many years, and by the time you’re in your late 20s, 30s, or 40s, you’ll have become quite the expert in that field.

Lessons learned

• Try out new things, and take those risks not just in the financial ones but also on yourself.
• Go all-in on yourself. Try something new, do something special, and find what you love.
• Even if people shoot down your idea, or you make mistakes, keep trying. You only fail if you don’t take the shot.

Andrew’s takeaways

• Start now, learn something, and you will set yourself apart.

Actionable advice

You may not have that initial momentum to carry you forward but just start, just do it.

No. 1 goal for the next 12 months

Jam’s number one goal for the next 12 months is to launch a digital bank he’s currently building. He also wants to increase his learning and focus on his coaching and personal finance career.
