Commitment

You need to remember: investing is not a 9-4 job. If you are involved in this kind of activity, your involvement will be needed 100 %. You might try to live the life of an investor, but this will mean remaining active for most of your time.

Not most of your working time, most of your time in general. Like professional sports players, you exercise for months or even years for a 90 minutes game, where all your effort pays off (or not).

So before you decide on becoming an investor, you need to first ask yourself if you are willing to commit 100%.
