But what happens if you pay too high of a price for that business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if the company doubles in value, your $100,000 investment only turned into $200,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why price matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t pay premium prices for businesses even if they have all of the traits listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"12-stay-patient-and-be-willing-to-wait-for-great-opportunities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Patient, and Be Willing To Wait For Great Opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another reason why active investing can produce such large returns is because successful investors often take concentrated positions in their best ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of diversifying their portfolio across dozens of stocks, they\u2019ll hold a handful of positions and allocate the rest of their portfolio to cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t a recommendation to invest this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a reason why most people should invest in low-cost index funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overly concentrated portfolios come with unique risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you have an idea that you\u2019re extremely confident in, highly concentrated portfolios allow your capital to be deployed where it has the potential to achieve the highest return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You want the winners in your portfolio to really shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"13-focus-on-capital-allocation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focus On Capital Allocation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice how some of these examples involved investors generating 2x their annual salary simply because their capital doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investor A earned a salary of $100,000 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their investment portfolio was worth $200,000 and grew by 20% for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Investment Return = $40,000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investor B earned a salary of $100,000 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their investment portfolio was worth $2 million and grew by 20% for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Investment Return = $400,000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Income building is important, but capital accumulation is what sets wealthy investors apart from everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need money to make money in the stock market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why few people focus on their investment income when they first get started with investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They focus on earning a higher salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Side hustle, get promoted, receive bonuses, and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you start accumulating capital, you can shift your focus towards growing that capital as efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"14-don%E2%80%99t-take-on-too-much-risk\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Take On Too Much Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two sides to every coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, investors can earn 2x their annual salary from their investments. But they can also lose it all if they\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Risk management is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following are just a few risk management techniques every investor should practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"15-don%E2%80%99t-use-too-much-leverage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Use Too Much Leverage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warren Buffett compares using leverage in business to betting on red at the blackjack table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have a 50% chance of doubling your money. But what happens if you lose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You go bankrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should never own a stock that you can\u2019t afford to go to $0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"16-prepare-for-the-worst-case-scenario\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare For the Worst Case Scenario<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every investment you make should have a clear thesis behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it\u2019s also important to understand the downsides of every investment you make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What happens if the company fires it\u2019s CEO?
