My Top 20 Investing Lessons For 2020

I'm coming up on my 20 year anniversary from when I first started investing, so I figured it's the perfect time to do a list showing my TOP investing lessons learned over the past twenty years…

And I wanted to focus on lessons that could be applied in TODAY'S markets since they're always changing.

If you want the TL;DR the list is below, but I highly suggest watching the video or listening to the podcast so you understand all the nuance that comes with the lessons.
