There are many parallels between fitness, sport and investing. The traps that people fall into when they are trying to make money quickly are similar to when they try to make physical changes. Discipline, focus and dedication are the same for sporting excellence and successful investing. Leigh Gant is the Education and Events Manager at the Australian Shareholders' Association. Leigh is an experienced investor, mentor and business leader. After spending over a decade as a founder and advisor to multiple successful businesses in the health and wellness sector, Leigh has a great understanding of the way businesses run. Leigh’s experiences align with Warren Buffett’s thoughts when he said he was a ‘better investor because I am a businessman and a better businessman because I am an investor’. Prior to joining the ASA, Leigh was an Equity Analyst and Writer for The Motley Fool. Leigh has a Graduate Diploma of Finance and a Bachelor of Behavioural Psychology.
