Seven Cures for a lean purse
4. Guard you treasure from loss

Misfortune loves a shining mark. Gold in a man’s purse must be guarded with firmness, else it be lost. Thurs it is wise that we must first secure small amounts and learn to protect them before the Gods entrust us with larger.

The first sound principle of investment is security for the principal.
Before you loan to any man assure yourself of his ability to repay and his reputation for doing so, that you may not unwittingly be making him a present of your hard-earned treasure.

Before you entrust it as an investment in any field acquaint yourself with the dangers, which may beset it.

Of great importance is to prevent your purse from being emptied once it has become well filled.

“ Guard your treasure from loss by investing only where you principal is safe, where it may be reclaimed if desirable, and where you will not fail to collect a fair rental. Consult with wise men. Secure the advice of those experienced in the profitable handling of gold. Let their wisdom protect your treasure from unsafe investments. ”

One of the way is with a mastermind group.
