If you live your life like a diversified portfolio,
00:02
everything that matters to you is in it.
00:04
If you live your life like a diversified portfolio,
00:07
you will know that you do not give 100% to one thing.
00:10
That's like putting 100% in one stock.
00:12
No matter how hot it is today, that is some real risk.
00:15
And what you will know is that if you live your life
00:17
like a diversified portfolio,
00:19
there will be highs and lows
00:20
just like your financial portfolio.
00:22
There are times that I don't feel like I'm a great mom.
00:24
There's times I don't feel like I'm a great daughter.
00:26
My parents live here, I live in Connecticut.
00:28
There's times that I don't feel like I'm a great CEO.
00:30
You don't always make the best decisions.
00:32
However, living my life like a diversified portfolio,
00:36
what I know for sure, over time, I am a great leader.
00:40
Over time, I am a good mommy, a good daughter.
00:44
Over time, I am outperforming this thing called life.
00:48
Just like a good financial planner will tell you,
00:50
a diversified portfolio outperforms over time.
00:55
As long as you're true to your allocation,
00:57
true to your goals, address market volatility,
01:01
I am outperforming this thing called life
01:04
because everything that matters to me is in my portfolio.
01:07
And I give myself a lot of grace
01:09
to respond to life conditions, just like I do my money.
01:13
So work-life balance is a lie.
01:15
Live your life like a diversified portfolio
01:18
and you will outperform this thing called life,
01:19
which means you will have joy
01:21
because everything that matters to you is in your portfolio.
