Investing is like a team sport, and I don’t mean to say this lightly… because it’s often thought of as an individual effort for many people. Though, that’s a commonly held idea, you need to pivot towards having a network effect, so you can quickly adapt, and move with the fastest members of the pack. Because, if you’re not among the leading pack members, you’ll quickly get isolated and lost in the noise and rancorous movements of the market. Meaning, you’ve got to be surrounded by a circle of competency that gives you an edge when filtering information, or investment ideas. Some of the best investors in the world will say they’re self-made, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. They may say they’re “self-made,” but from my own experience interviewing, and networking with some of the most successful asset managers, they’ve got connections and a well-established team of experts guiding them in their investment decision process. We all need help, and we need other people to help us vet investments or trade ideas. A couple days ago, I was speaking in front of a live audience regarding cryptocurrency trends, and one of the things I mentioned was the power of networking. Without having an ear to the ground, you won’t have any clue as to what’s going on, regardless of how much you know. Sometimes, a bigger advantage isn’t what you know, but who you know, and who knows you. If you don’t believe me, look at all the Harvard grads, and various Ivy-League educated people with perfect GPAs, and various other extraneous credentials that boost their perceived intelligence. Despite their intelligence, many of them aren’t going to become rich investors, because they’re banking on book intelligence to differentiate rather than a powerful network effect. You see, most of the best opportunities aren’t well advertised. They’re not going to be presented in the most obvious format, because those deals are usually conducted behind close doors. You won’t even get invited into the conversation, because you don’t know anyone who is a part of the big investment deal. Hence, intelligence helps. But, if you really want to be a part of something, you’ve got to network with people who are a part of the bigger conversation. Meaning, you’ve got to know people, especially if you want to isolate some of the best moments to time trades, or buy some of the best investment opportunities early, before anyone else. This might sound like an unfair competitive advantage, and it certainly is. But, then again, most big businesses have an unfair competitive advantage. So, you’ve got to ask yourself, “what’s your unfair competitive advantage?” And, if you don’t have one, you will NEED to develop an unfair advantage before you get left behind.
