Letting your emotions rule is not good for an investor. Many expert investors described emotions as one killer of an investment return. They also emphasized that fear and greed rule the market is true. Investors should not let fear or greed control their decisions. Instead, they should focus on the bigger picture. It is true that there are always fluctuations like the prices in the stock market but the investor must not be afraid because it is not all the time that a situation is like this. If the investor is ruled by his emotion he may be in panic and may sell his stocks not in the right time and value. In fact, he could hold it for a long term. Those who are patient may benefit from the irrational decisions of other investors.

Unfortunately, many people only learn the importance of controlling their emotions when they suffer it's consequences.
Its one of the times when experience is really the best teacher.

Starting small will help one learn the most important but painful losses while keeping your loss at a minimum m
 
There are people like that emotional yet greedy. They're afraid to have small profits or afraid of the unknowns that may crash their business or investment. They can't control their emotions though.

True, fearing sometime should be important, but stepping out and trying our best is the thing we need when we are running a business and when we are investing, in the investment world one needs to be strong and good decision maker because there are a lots of things that needs to be done.
 
Even in personal life, it is not good to fear about something that may cause sleepless nights, and how much more to a business. If you keep on thinking about the rising prices that would lose your focus.
 
If we feel sad because of low sales, our emotions will be affected, but it is normal to have low sales on a day especially if there is strong rain or a strike. The investors should reflect on the possibilities in their investing journey.
 
One of the biggest mistakes anyone would make would be to allow their emotions rule logical thinking when it comes to investing. You could end up loosing everything you have worked hard for.
 
There are sensitive people who cannot accept the reality they are weak which is why they cannot move forward and live to the fullest because of their foolishness by allowing the past to ruin their lives and business.
 
It is essential to stay level-headed when it comes to managing our investments or businesses. Allowing our emotions to take over can lead to poor decision-making. It is easy to feel discouraged when our business is not generating many sales, but it is vital to remember that sales numbers fluctuate. Some days we will have more sales, and others we will have less. Do not let temporary setbacks get in the way of your long-term goals.
