Financial expertise comes with a lot of challenges that are not easy to overcome. Often, there are stories of people who start out on the journey of becoming a financial guru, but soon fail at it.

While these stories break hearts, they tell everyone that becoming a guru in the financial sector is not a day’s job. And that those who have managed to overcome these obstacles should be given accolades.

In becoming the best or one of the best at something, there would definitely be obstacles. The problem is not the obstacle, but the attitudes towards the obstacles. One person who has scaled through this hurdle in his career is Roger Scott of WealthPress. 

Roger Scott, WealthPress’ Head Trader, is a financial guru with expertise in trading stocks, ETFs and many more. His 25 years’ experience makes him the perfect fit to discuss the obstacles towards becoming a financial guru. For him, the following are some of the attitudes he exhibited towards overcoming these obstacles. 

I Applied Diversification A Lot: When it comes to the financial market, there are a lot of risks involved. This risks, depending on how they are managed, can make or break a person. This is why diversification it is important to diversify.

For me, I diversified a lot, and had my investments spread across different assets. This is why whenever I faced a huge obstacle on an assets that seem to mar my investments, I was always having something to fall on. 

With this, it was quick for me to pick myself up because of the back up that I have built due to diversifying.

I Chose Wisely: As much as there are risks in the financial market, there are also opportunities that are enticing. I didn’t become a financial guru by grabbing all opportunities. If that were the case, you would not be hearing from me today. 

I ensured that I maintained a scale of preference, preferably investment in stocks and ETFs. These helped me maintain my focus and have an edge over many others. This way, I channeled my energy towards what were on my list alone. As such, if an obstacle arose, I was able to quickly notice and tackle it before it got out of hand. 

I gave myself to research and valuable information: One thing I hold close to heart is that information in the financial market is invaluable. Towards becoming a financial guru, I leveraged investment information a lot. And this helped me have an edge over the obstacles that arose. 

The thing about the financial sector is that all obstacles are surmountable. But to do this, you have to be prepared. I realized this, and did my research about new and developing areas. This helped me to quickly act and fit the round pegs in the round holes. 

I Learnt Confidence Early: As you might have realized, there are only few people who get to become a financial guru. The reason is that the journey is risky and to manage the risk, you need a daring confidence. 

For me, I learnt this early and adopted it as my watchword. Throughout my journey, my confidence was there to guide me and help me make the right choice. 

If you are looking to also become a financial guru, you will have to be confident in your approach and trust your instinct. When you’re struggling with investing, your confidence and instinct will be the only things guiding you in your choice.
