16 things I wish I knew when I started investing, with Brett Warren

I'm often asked what I would do differently if I could live my investing journey all over again.

I've certainly made my fair share of mistakes along the way and paid huge "learning fees" because of them. However, instead of being defeated, I learned from each error and moved forward a little bit wiser.

If you ask me that's one of the keys to investment success - the ability to pick yourself up from setbacks, learn what you can from them (including your own limitations) and simply try again.

So, to help prevent you from making the same mistakes, in today's show Brett Warren, National director of property at Metropole and I are going to chat about some of the things I wish I knew when I first started investing.
