As investors, many things keep us from getting started, including the fear of making mistakes.

So, in todayā€™s episode, Kate & Owen are rounding up five common mistakes we see investors making with their money and how to avoid them. This includes:

šŸ‘€ Investing without a plan and decision-making process

šŸ‘€ Following the hype

šŸ‘€ Becoming a collector of investments

One of our biggest suggestions for new investors is to write down a plan of attack before diving in. This gives you direction and keeps you focused, as itā€™s easy to get distracted by every new shiny thing.

We’d also encourage you to write down the reasons you make a particular investment, which you can review over time as you learn more along your journey.

āœ… Action Tip: Create a Google Doc to record your investment decisions and outline your investment plan.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this episode on Friday šŸ’ø
