So, as a total newbie navigating the range of work you need to do to feel prepared to be invest can be OVERWHELMING, and not all investing is the same. 

While I may have touched on some of these in past episodes, a good breakdown of the different strategies lets you think about the ones that might suit your investment needs and habits the most, and allow you to look at other people's investing through the lens of the strategy they use, not just yours. 

Today you will hear about investing strategies such as:

Don't get me wrong, there are lots more, like dollar cost averaging, margin trading, and some more complex variations of the ones I talk about today, but we'll get a hang of these ones before we broaden our horizons too much!

With any questions reach out to me @thefemaleinvestors on instagram, and you'll get daily finance content on there too!

Today's episode is a little shorter, because we talk about how investing can become a habit and how that makes your investing journey easier and more fun. 

I believe that you can make investing a habit following these three pillars:

- having habits that promote good personal finance practices

- consuming content through your social media that keep investing front of mind

- dedicating time weekly to doing research and brainstorming your strategy and your goals. 

This podcast breaks down these three pillars and talks about how they will influence your investing.

We've covered a lot of the basics and now it comes down to doing your own research. 

In previous episodes we've talked about ETFs and the basics of investing, but once you get into the nitty gritty of it, you can't just take any finance guru's word for it. 

So you need to do your own research. Especially when it comes to investing in stocks. 

Today's episode breaks down how to do your research from a completely macroeconomic side of things to the research in individual stocks and what some big investors look out for when understanding the strategy of a company they want to invest in. Happy researching!

You may be able to tell while listening to this episode but... I really love ETFs. And I think you will too, that's why I want to help you learn all about them. 

Exchange traded funds are super popular investments, especially among beginners, because they are easy, low cost and low risk. 

But ETFs being easy doesn't mean that you shouldn't know all about them! Figuring them out might just give you the confidence to invest in them. 

Episode 5 of The Female Investors Project gives you a rundown of all things ETFs, how you know what is right for you, the things you need to consider if you are deciding on whether you should invest into ETFs or stocks.

Learning about investing generally brings up more questions than answers. In the words of the one and only Taylor Swift: the more that you say, the less I know. Today I will share my background when it comes to money and investing and my approach to two of the biggest questions I had when I started out: when can I invest and how much should I invest. 

After listening to episode 2 of The Female Investors Project you will know:

1. How your personal finances will dictate when you can invest.

2. How the market moves and how it can determine when you invest.

3. What questions to ask yourself to determine the right investing amount for you. 

As you will learn, investing never has a straightforward answer. But knowing the right questions to ask and being confident in the choices you make will get you ahead. And making mistakes is part of the journey.
