During his 30-year career as a Chartered Financial Analyst, Manny has looked after hundreds of clients and managed more than 1.5 billion dollars. 

 5 BIGGEST TAKE-AWAY FROM THIS EPISODE

• Mindfulness helps you make clear decision about your money, stay out of the fear business, take action without over worrying and be less reactive to the market.
• Stay grounded in the present to make your money decisions. Base yourself on how things are now and not how they might be in the future, or they were in the past. 
• Don't wait for the perfect market to invest. Do the best you can with what's available. Let go of your desire of perfection. Doing something with your money is better than doing nothing.
• Money is a energy exchange. Having money allows you to take care of yourself so you can give more to others. It then creates more choices in your life. With more money, you can have a greater impact on your community.
• Focus on the individual sectors or individual stocks to invest in companies that align with your values, and don't forget to chose a company that is profitable and offers a service that will still be needed in 10 years.
