For anyone just starting out with investing you will struggle early on with results. It takes years of investing patience before your portfolio starts to show signs of life and the snowball effect kicks in showing large increases. Don’t be discouraged, all experienced investors have gone through this at one time or another making us question our decisions.

The time period from when you start investing to the beginning of the snowball effect is a period that can make or break an investor if they are not prepared for the time investment and patience required. James Clear defined this period as the “Valley of Disappointment” in his book Atomic Habits.

I found this video on Youtube and this young man does a wonderful job explaining the concept. He puts a lot of thought and effort into his videos and the quality of work shows. I invite you to take a few minutes and watch this video, I am sure you will enjoy as much as I have.
