We're finance podcasters and we know exactly what we're doing and you guys should listen to us because we've got our money sorted.

I think it's going to be a journey for everyone throughout their lives and you're never going to be perfect at it.

But the important thing is that you're just constantly trying to be better at it.

I think, you know, for me, there's a lot of specific barriers that we've touched on in the book and that we can talk about, you know, people being unsure about what broker to sign up with or do they have enough money to get started or is investing just like gambling?

You know, these are some of the sort of common questions we get.

You know, we also over and over again, people are looking for the perfect stock or the perfect ATF like Bryce was mentioning and, you know,

I think there's a lot of specific things, but I think generally the biggest barrier is a mindset thing.

It's that investing isn't for me, that it's something that I would love to know, but I'm not able to do it.

It's too hard.

I don't have enough information.

And so I'm not going to try or, you know, I might lose my money.

So I'm not going to try.

Yeah.

No one's going to have a worse start to investing than me.

And no one is going to know everything when they get started.

And you'll make mistakes, you'll lose money, you'll learn from that.

But having that mindset that I'm just going to do it and I'm going to get started with an imperfect investment with imperfect amounts of information, but I'm going to be better the second time around and the third time around and the fourth time around.

I think is the most important thing because then you're at least jumping in and you're making those mistakes and you're getting started.

But for so many people, that mindset of it's not for me just never lets you get out of the starting blocks.

And that's a real shame.
