Entering The Dojo:

The Decision to Start Investing

or to Achieve Greater Results

“Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.”

—CHINESE PROVERB

The beginning martial artist enters the dojo with some trepidation and hesitancy,
wondering what will be expected during the training. The black belt instruc-
tor enters the room preparing to teach and yells “Charyot!” (Attention!).
A new investor feels the same uncertainty. What will be required? Can I
really learn to be a successful investor? And investors with more experience
might wonder if they can improve their results. The answer is yes;
absolutely: virtually everyone can learn to invest successfully as long as they
are willing to follow a proven system and keep a simple set of rules.
“Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.”

—THE BOOKS OF HAN DYNASTY
