Taking Responsibility for Your Success

Let’s say you do spend respon­si­bly and save some of your pay­check towards build­ing wealth.

Let’s say you take the mon­ey you’ve set aside and invest it in a safe com­pa­ny that aligns to your val­ues.

How do you keep in touch with your invest­ments?

How do you con­tin­ue to learn about your com­pa­nies ((And, they are in the truest sense your com­pa­nies if you own them.))?

If you’re like most investors you don’t even look at your state­ments, let alone keep a fin­ger on the pulse of the com­pa­nies (or funds) you own.

And, that’s unac­cept­able. It’s irre­spon­si­ble.

Especially with all the access indi­vid­ual investors get these days.

At a min­i­mum, you should absolute­ly be lis­ten­ing to com­pa­ny exec­u­tives tell you, in their own words and with their own emo­tion, how they’re doing on the quar­ter­ly earn­ings calls.

Call to Action

Start with the investor page at your com­pa­nies, for exam­ple at GE or P&>, and you’ll find tons of use­ful infor­ma­tion to help edu­cate you as an investor and as an own­er of the com­pa­ny.
