“Often the first 10 years of investing are wasted making mistakes and learning what not to do, following the wrong path, taking the wrong strategy or not having any strategy.” – Michael Yardney

“And when you expect to fail, fear loses all its power over you. When you no longer fear failure, you feel empowered to take action.”– Michael Yardney
