Stumbling into financial success
Nov 04, 2025
Building a seven figure portfolio requires a single output. A lot of people think the output is understanding charts, financial jargon, pips, and other fancy financial concepts. But you really don’t need to fully understand these to start gaining traction.
I got started when I was financially ignorant (and I still am).
I didn’t know anything and still don’t know much.
Yes, I read Robert T. Kiyosaki, and other various books as a kid, but it took years and years for me to start developing an understanding of the books I was reading.

Yes, I signed up for a retirement account in middle school, but I didn’t really understand it then either.
There is only one thing I understood early as a kid. That was consistency. The three things I chose to be consistent with include: Fitness, Personal Development, and Investing. I’m not an expert in any of them, though. I’m just consistent.
Zero intelligence is required to build a portfolio
100% consistency IS required, though
I didn’t know what I was doing when it came to investing, I just got started. I’ve lost money, I’ve made imprudent decisions, but I’ve been consistent, and that’s how I’ve built what I have today.
