The art of Starting Something: If you can dream it, you can do it
In his early 20s, Adrian took his skillset in investment and economics and started something. Worried about job prospects out of university, and with the support of his friends who had investable assets, he was encouraged to share his expertise in economics which quickly became a useful tool, resulting in an investment club.
“I had growing anxiety and suspicions that I was turning myself into very well qualified, but unemployable.”
Once a month, the club would meet, talk about markets, economies, ideas and build an investment pool. The main idea was to “hopefully make some money” from the investment.
Within two years, the club had made some neat returns, gained some external attention and had expanded from 12 friends to 200 members with investments in the pool. Without intention, his business had grown from an informal arrangement to a licensed form.
“What it showed me is that what you dream is possible.”
