Make sideline slogans

I am a big fan of Jin Yong's short stories. If someone asks me: Who is your perfect lover? I might say Ren Yingying in the legendary swordsman. In China, at my age, many people have a dream of rivers and lakes. For example, Ma Yun of Alibaba is an old fan of Jin Yong, nicknamed "Feng Qing Yang", and also made a "Kung Fu movie" with domestic big coffees.

It was not until I read a book in college, Memoirs of a Stock Masterpiece, that I found my dream of rivers and lakes. Isn't the trading market just a river's lake: intrigue, fame and fortune struggle, intrigue, blood shed ... Livermore is a lone ranger, and he shines in the rivers and lakes. Even if he finally falls down and dies, he has left an immortal myth in the rivers and lakes.

I was deeply attracted by the stories in the trading Jianghu and set my life goals early.

But after graduation, my trading trip was not smooth, and I had to work hard to realize my ideal on the premise of supporting my family.

So after so many years, I have been combining my main business with my sideline business.

Have a stable job+business time investment at first, and study the investment every night; Later, I had my own company. I will sit in front of my computer during trading hours and go out to do business after trading days and weekends. Later, I had my own investment studio, and I could make a good living from the investment, but I still managed some sideline businesses such as media.

? In the early days, investment was my sideline. During this period, I used my main business to earn money to support my family, while continuing to invest money and time in sideline business, regardless of return, with great enthusiasm and hope.

? Late investment has become my main business, and sideline business is only engaged in auxiliary sideline business that is conducive to investment.

? 1. sideline should not just earn extra money, but have ideals and hopes.

I have met many, many people who have worked hard, worked hard and worked hard.

Some of them are small employees of the company during the day, and they go to run Didi or do driving at night; Some people engage in manual labor in factories during the day and set up stalls at night. Some people are freelancers, playing games and working more than ten hours a day. ...

? I have great respect for these people, but when we try our best to earn hard money, how can we have time to think about how to make big money?

? They are all low value-added jobs. Even if you take another job after work, it is essentially the same as extending working hours in the original job-overtime. People's time and energy are limited, and it is not far away to increase their income by extending working hours.

? The three highest-paid occupations in the world are experts, entrepreneurs and investors, all of which need a lot of time to learn and accumulate experience.

? If your current main income is not high enough and you need a sideline to increase your income, I suggest you find a "lucrative" career as a sideline and cultivate it patiently until one day you can take a sideline as your main business and realize the counterattack of your life.

? 2. What if the homepage is ideal and hopeful?

Career is compound interest investment, and you can make a lot of money by becoming an expert in any industry.

If it happens that your current job is what you want, but you can't make a lot of money for the time being, you want to develop a sideline to increase your income.

I don't advise you to do this. Instead of distracting yourself from the sideline, it is better to put more time and energy into the main business and let yourself grow faster and faster.

For example:

Suppose you open an online shop now, which can bring you main income to support your family. You want to continue to engage in e-commerce for a long time, but you are not satisfied with your income and plan to make money part-time. Instead of spending precious time on operating Didi, it is better to devote more time and energy to your network operation, learn professional knowledge and strive to improve the output of network business.

Otherwise, it is better to change careers before it is too late.

Should I quit my job and become a professional investor?

Since I shared my career investment life from the media, many people have been asking me: Is it reliable to resign as a professional investor now?

This really varies from person to person. If you are well-off, have a lot of spare money and have a strong interest in investment, then you can take investment as a career or start a business; If you, like me, have a heavy life pressure and don't have enough principal and investment experience, then you should take investment as a sideline and wait patiently for the time to come; If you are just tired of the workplace, or are heavily in debt, and want to make easy money by investing, then I suggest giving up before it is too late. The stock market is not an ATM, which is more difficult than most industries.

A person's life is a continuous investment, and those who are good at investing must be good at planning their career.

Make a long-term plan for your life, even if it takes a lifetime to complete it.
