Earlier this week I was having a great chat with a friend.

They were just about to take their first step into the investing world...

Which obviously came with a lot of excitement - and also some fear.

The fear of losing money that everyone can feel when they're just getting started.

And with so many horror stories out there of people losing everything in investing - those fears can be magnified.

But when it comes to losing money in investing, there's generally 3 main mistakes that people make.

And it you can avoid these - you're far more likely to be on the path to success - and freedom.
