Being a Contrarian…

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and get greedy when others are fearful”, proclaimed Warren Buffet, one of the greatest pioneers of investment strategies… And that is whom we call a Contrarian – Someone who contradicts the herd behavior.

At all times, there have always been people who differed from the views and ideologies of their fellow brethren. Most often than not, these people have went on to scale great heights than the rest. Standing out from the crowd is definitely not a walk in the garden, but a glide from a hilltop. We hear all sorts of noises about the adversities on course. However, as long as we are excited by the adventure in the journey, a glory awaits us at the valley-side.

Buying (at lower prices) when others are selling (out of fear of loss) and selling (at higher prices) when others are buying (expecting prices to rise in future) is the direct translation of the quote. Moreover, you’ll have an apprentice working for you – Luck favors the Brave, after all..

But it doesn’t end there, mates… You’ll be a tough competitor if you practice when your opponent also practices, You’ll be a champion if you practice also when your opponent is resting. That’s the power of persistence. Hold your stakes long, the more time we invest in something, the more returns it is going to earn for us…

If we’re wise enough to compound our stakes, it doesn’t take huge investments to reap you returns… All it takes is time and some real guts to stand the storm…

Staying Afloat…

Everyone is Unique… Every enterprise has to be Unique.. Especially when it comes to work culture, product / service deliverance and most importantly, crisis management… Who wouldn’t want to be prepared for tough times, afterall! Having a Plan B in place for every sticky possibility is a common sense as per strategy designers.

So how do we ensure sustenance even in the most unexpected crisis situations, that are not even preceded in the past to take references from? Here we are, taking lessons from the fundamental strategy of risk mitigation – diversification.

Passive investments in diverse avenues will ensure our stroll, when running gets difficult. At times when our regular chores of business operations aren’t kicking off, the irregular revenue streams become our oxygen masks. This holds good not only for businesses, but also for individuals..

Wait… This is not only from the financial or professional front, but also from the psychological front. Why are there so many artforms in the firstplace? They get us going at all times, they catalyse our morale and add a sense of admiration even when we are stranded in mid-sea adversities.

Explore, Diversify, Hustle and Stay afloat… The next shore is round the corner!!
