RE: Introducing Mark Carrington: Author and Entrepreneur; Frustrated Blogger; Investor and Fitness Fanatic
Mark this was the first Steemit post I read because I was attracted by fitness fanatic in the title. I love the bike and every year that passes I find more reasons to enjoy another ride. The bike has brought more happiness than my investment strategies so that similarity we don't share. Your personal fitness accomplishments are inspirational. Ride on and Write on!
Thanks. having been a non-achiever at sport I did discover along the journey how important fitness is to general well being. I have done pretty well at a number of sporting endeavours, most notably squash and filed hockey and windsurfing and golf BUT cycling really works for me. It works because it takes me many miles away from the start in a short period. which gives me a sense of accomplishment. Doing more has become easy. And i am finding it is forgiving to a 60 year old body
As for investing accomplishment, this is a whole different story. I have been lucky to follow some solid training and to find a good mentor. And my background in accounting and business consulting helps enormously. The hard part is taming the psychology - taming fear and greed.
Good luck on your journey
Indeed. Taming the greed. I think there was an element of "ignorance and fearlessness" that contributed to the losses too.
Well done for acknowledging that. This is part of taming psychology - be ruthless in your assessment of what was going on in your head and in your emotions. It is not all in the head.
