I spent December mostly working and the first weeks of January mostly planning but I am glad to be back at the blog.
The post title is self-explanatory and focuses gives some ideas on investment issues to pay attention to in 2012. I will be blogging about some of these issues in depth for the next 4 months (as you may know, this blog ends April 30 of this year). Without further ado,
- Work on one aspect of your personal finances this year. Studies show the more diverse your goals, the less likely you will achieve any of them (my review on the book Willpower will be posted this month)
- Setting a goal and achieving it are two different concepts. Track your goal religiously and have an accountability partner to help you.
- Remember you are ultimately responsible for the outcomes in your life.
- Do not forget to work on your human capital. Find ways to increase your earning potential through skill improvement, networking and gaining new experiences.
- Returns on the market have always been unpredictable.
