From the Author

Thank you for buying this book.

I wrote this book after years working with clients. I realized that there is a lot of noise and confusion and this topic - financial and investment literacy and achieving your financial goals - is just too important to let that be the case. So, I decided to write the book that I would want my daughter, her friends, and my family to have to guide their futures.

As you are reading this book, if you find one little nugget of truth, a grain of wisdom that helps you approach your finances and investments, please do leave a review. This helps other readers - like you - find this book and support them on their own journeys.

    While investing is a priority for me, most of the advice and books out there and regurgitated and uninspiring The author has a way of blending both theory and practical advice that's relatable and keeps my attention. This book distills high-level financial investment advice that's timeless, well-written and interesting.

    Sam's view is that investing need not be rocket science. He distills the process down to a series of core principles which are simple to understand, but acknowledges that applying them requires both patience and discipline. I have sat exams for investment qualifications and ready many books - most of them way too complex for the ordinary person. Sam has distilled the most important lessons into a 2-hour read which is engaging with lots of practical examples. Read this book - it will make you a lot of money in the medium to long term!

    He even recommends seeking trusted advice and acting on it in a time when DIYing is at an all time high.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for everyone!
    Reviewed in Canada on July 9, 2022

    Over my lengthy academic and working careers I have read many financial books. I have never found a book more enjoyable to read or easy to understand and put into practice what are essentially pillars to financial independence. If you were to ask me who this book is for? I would say everyone. For myself and my peers who have spent their careers focusing on financial planning and investments it is a reminder that focusing on client’s goals as opposed to focusing on returns is the ideal solution. For those new to investments, it teaches you patience, discipline and the key actions to keep you on track. And let's not forget the younger generations - the earlier we impart the habits of paying yourself first and the benefits of compounding the better. This book has valuable lessons for EVERYONE.
