By clearly defining your objectives and timeframes, you can guide your investment decisions and measure your progress. A diversified portfolio aligned with your goals and risk tolerance can help manage risk while maximising returns. Regularly reviewing your investments and consulting a financial advisor when needed can keep you on track. Stay focused on your long-term goals and remain patient for the best outcomes.
