If so, check out my FREE Masterclass: http://learn.investdiva.com/yes Building an investment portfolio is one of the smartest ways to create long-term wealth.  In this video Invest Diva CEO, Kiana Danial shows you the 7 steps beginners should take when they start investing.   Investing in stocks for beginners can sometimes be intimidating especially if you’ve tried to listen to “experts” on TV and didn’t understand a word they said.  The good news is, the majority of “experts” try to sound smart on TV and make investing more intimidating than it is because they are wealth managers and if you are able to invest on your own, then they won’t have a customer.   The challenging news is that some people just dive into the markets without any financial education on investing 101, try to figure out how to invest based on trial and error, and end up losing all their money without proper financial education.   I totally relate to such people because I was one of them. I lost $15K in trial and error when I first started investing. Then I decided to invest in myself, get the foundation right, and now that investment continues to pay for itself over and over again. Specifically, I spent tens of thousands of dollars for the Certified Financial Planning program (CFP), the Charted Market Technician Progam (CMT), and so many others.   The most important tips on investing for beginners include the impact of personal taxes, your stage in the life cycle, and the changing economic environment.
