Noise and focus

There’s a lot of external noise right now in the world and markets. We’re unfortunately always going to be tied to that noise and need to pay attention to it. The markets especially can cause panic and overreaction. We’re not immune to it by any means.

However, there’s only so many things that we can control and the market is not one of them. For that reason, I always try to tell myself to stay focused. I can’t control the markets but I can control my efforts on working with great companies and individuals, and being diligent in my work. Market noise also presents an opportunity for those that keep an open mind.
