“Play by the rules, but be ferocious.” – Phil Knight

The brand that gave us “Just do it!” qualifies that tagline, which always felt a bit broad, to include boundaries. You can’t “just do it” without regard to the rules, as Knight clearly states. Those rules are what level the playing field and protect fair competition. But rules have nothing to do with the passion in which you play within them.

The most successful investors were not made in a day. Learning the ins and outs of the financial world and your personality as an investor takes time and patience, not to mention trial and error. In this article, we'll lead you through the first seven steps of your expedition into investing and show you what to look out for along the way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Your investing journey starts with a plan and a time frame; when you know how long you're investing for and what you hope to gain, you can put the structure in place to achieve it.

Next, learn about how the market works, figure out what investment strategy is best for you, and determine what kind of investor you are.

Be careful who you're taking advice from and be mindful of your own prejudices and assumptions, as you find the right path for you.

Make sure you understand this is a long-term journey so that you won't get tripped up by short-term setbacks; always stay open and learn from your mistakes.

1. Getting Started in Investing

Successful investing is a journey, not a one-time event, and you'll need to prepare yourself as if you were going on a long trip. Begin by defining your destination, then plan your investment journey accordingly. For example, are you looking to retire in 20 years at age 55? How much money will you need to do this? You must first ask these questions. The plan that you come up with will depend on your investment goals.

2. Know What Works in the Market

Read books or take an investment course that deals with modern financial ideas. The people who came up with theories such as portfolio optimization, diversification, and market efficiency received their Nobel prizes for good reason. Investing is a combination of science (financial fundamentals) and art (qualitative factors). The scientific aspect of finance is a solid place to start and should not be ignored. If science is not your strong suit, don't fret. There are many texts, such as Stocks For The Long Run by Jeremy Siegel, that explain high-level finance ideas in a way that is easy to understand.
Once you know what works in the market, you can come up with simple rules that work for you. For example, Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors ever. His simple investment style is summed up in this well-known quote: "Never invest in a business you cannot understand." It has served him well. While he missed the tech upturn, he avoided the subsequent devastating downturn of the high-tech bubble of 2000.

3. Know Your Investment Strategy

Nobody knows you and your situation better than you do. Therefore, you may be the most qualified person to do your own investing—all you need is a bit of help. Identify the personality traits that will assist you or prevent you from investing successfully, and manage them accordingly.

A very useful behavioral model that helps investors to understand themselves was developed by fund managers Tom Bailard, Larry Biehl, and Ron Kaiser.

The model classifies investors according to two personality characteristics: method of action (careful or impetuous) and level of confidence (confident or anxious).2 Based on these personality traits, the BB&K model divides investors into five groups:

Individualist – careful and confident, often takes a do-it-yourself approach

Adventurer – volatile, entrepreneurial and strong-willed

Celebrity – a follower of the latest investment fads

Guardian – highly risk-averse, wealth preserver

Straight Arrow – shares the characteristics of all of the above equally

Not surprisingly, the best investment results tend to be realized by an individualist, or someone who exhibits analytical behavior and confidence and has a good eye for value. However, if you determine that your personality traits resemble those of an adventurer, you can still achieve investment success if you adjust your strategy accordingly. In other words, regardless of which group you fit into, you should manage your core assets in a systematic and disciplined way.

4. Know Your Friends and Enemies

Beware of false friends who only pretend to be on your side, such as certain unscrupulous investment professionals whose interests may conflict with yours. You must also remember that, as an investor, you are competing with large financial institutions that have more resources, including greater and faster access to information.
Bear in mind you are potentially your own worst enemy. Depending on your personality, strategy and particular circumstances, you may be sabotaging your own success. A guardian would be going against their personality type if they were to follow the latest market craze and seek short-term profits. Because you are risk-averse and a wealth preserver, you would be affected far more by large losses that can result from high-risk, high-return investments. Be honest with yourself, and identify and modify the factors preventing you from investing successfully or moving you away from your comfort zone.

5. Find the Right Investing Path

Your level of knowledge, personality and resources should determine the path you choose. Generally, investors adopt one of the following strategies:

Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. In other words, diversify.

Put all of your eggs in one basket, but watch your basket carefully.

Combine both of these strategies by making tactical bets on a core passive portfolio.

Most successful investors start with low-risk diversified portfolios and gradually learn by doing. As investors gain greater knowledge over time, they become better suited to taking a more active stance in their portfolios.

6. Be in It for the Long Term

Sticking with the optimal long-term strategy may not be the most exciting investing choice. However, your chances of success should increase if you stay the course without letting your emotions, or "false friends," get the upper hand.

7. Be Willing to Learn

The market is hard to predict, but one thing is certain: it will be volatile. Learning to be a successful investor is a gradual process and the investment journey is typically a long one. At times, the market will prove you wrong. Acknowledge that and learn from your mistakes.

There is only the present, so the enlightened ones tell us, and we cannot allow ourselves to become tied to the past or enchanted by the future. There is only the here and now. We must concentrate on that and act. This quote doesn’t reject the lessons of the past or the plans for the future, but we only have this moment, so do your best in it.
