# Just got this email and it perfectly captures what investing actually is.Investing is about patience

Just got this email and it perfectly captures what investing actually is.

Investing is about patience, conviction, and surviving your own emotions long enough to let compounding do its thing.

From $6,000 to $60,000, because he stayed calm when fear showed up and boredom kicked in.

That is the edge.

If you can master behavior, volatility becomes noise and time becomes your ally.

This is exactly what I teach.

Process over panic.

Frameworks over feelings.

Well done!
