How the wheels of the international high finance machine turn is a mystery to most. Surprisingly, also to the big wheels, who don't have the divine knowledge they'd have us think they do, and maybe themselves have come to believe they have. The fact is, precious little is predictable, but also that various simple strategies can give the average person the edge in riding both the high and low waves. No matter if things on the international scene are up, down or sideways, you can make money—good money—by staying cool and just knowing what to do when. Yasin Sebastian Qureshi opens the doors to the once hallowed halls he's rendered less than magical. At 29 the youngest ever person to run a bank in Europe, Qureshi tells of the constant opposition to his simplfied ideas from those higher up who "knew better"—until his success gave abundant proof that they work. Through simple strategies, psychological tips and anecdotes from the roller coaster ride of investment, Passion to Wealth: The Mountain Climber's Shortcut, co-authored by Benjamin Bilski (Forbes "30 under 30"), shows how this can be mastered—without huge financial input, years of study or painful hours trying to decipher mind-boggling charts. And with an eye on doing what you enjoy doing in life, without selling your soul. Play, communicate, grow, enjoy. Your passion can indeed drive your wealth, and your wealth, in turn, can drive your passion. This little book will show you how.
