The Volatility Problem

💡 Investor Insight: Don't Let Perfect Be the Enemy of Good

Here's a real decision I made recently in my own business.

I had capital sitting in my business account earning very little while I searched for my next investment.

Sure, I'd love to find an opportunity yielding 12% or more.

But instead of waiting indefinitely, I chose to invest those funds in an asset yielding 10%.

Why?

Because money that isn't working isn't helping you reach your financial goals.

Experienced investors don't just ask, "What's the highest return I can find?"

They also ask, "What's the opportunity cost of waiting?"

Sometimes, putting your money to work today can be a better long-term decision than waiting months for the "perfect" investment.

I enjoy sharing the thought process behind real investing decisions—not just the outcomes.
