Behavior Matters More Than Information
Knowing isn't doing.Behavior is what changes things.
- Reading
- Doing
- Ten articles, nothing changes
- Splitting the lump sum
Every Learning Unit must improve at least one financial behavior, not just one financial concept.
In Practice
Reading ten articles on diversification changes nothing until the day you actually split a lump sum across more than one holding.
Generic Example
Knowing sugar is bad for you has never, on its own, put down a spoon.
Ask yourself
What did I actually do differently this week because of something I "learned"?
