Preparation:

- Before investing, it is critical to know what your goals and objectives are.
Whether it be to fund retirement, purchase a home, or undertake a new
business venture, knowing what you're working towards will help you choose an
investment to help you meet your goals. It is also important to know the basics
about investing—such as risks, fees and costs, and investment strategies—and
understand the investment you're prospecting.

Skill requirements:

- Problem-solving skills:
To master this skill, you need to learn to identify the problem, define the main
elements of the problem, examine possible solutions, act on resolving the
problem, and look for lessons to learn.
- Research
Given the inability to predict market behaviour and performance, research aids
investors in gaining an insight into the movement of the market and as such,
make informed decisions.
- Examining risk:
You should be able to analyze a prospective investment opportunity for future
potential, relative risk, and amenities to decide whether to purchase or sell.

Mental Preparation:

- Stay calm: Volatility is part of investing


Some investors have the instinct to sell when things start getting bad, but by
staying calm and staying invested, you can reap the future rewards.
- Admit mistakes and move on
No one likes admitting they were wrong, but recognizing it quickly and accepting
you made a mistake is a good investing habit to adopt. People sometimes want
to wait to sell a losing investment until it gets back to where they bought it, but
that may never happen if the problems that made it a loser in the first place
persist.
- Don’t think you know more than you do
It’s important to note that slow and steady wins the investing race, even if it’s not
the most thrilling approach. Don’t try to swing for the fences when you think
you’ve found a sure winner. There’s always the chance that you’re wrong and
preparing for this likelihood will ensure that you don’t jeopardize your long-term
goals with one or two wrong moves.
